Rare disease can be a lonely and isolating experience. However, it doesn’t have to be.
Having a mentor who has a shared lived experience and understands the unique burden of PFIC provides a special kind of support that can help empower patients, families and caregivers to feel ready to tackle the challenges of living with the disease.
A Mentor can be a:
- Friend
- Coach
- Supporter
- Advisor
- Role Model
- Sounding board for new ideas
- Person to talk with
- Connection to help access available resources
