SUMMARY:Project IMPACT June Focus Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Register for the June Focus Group now!\n Join our community of patients\, parents\, clinicians\, and researchers on June 20th on Zoom for a conversation about research!  \nWhy?    \nWe will be brainstorming how a specific type of research called Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) could help address important questions like\, “Which treatment is the best choice for me/my child?”. CER could also create more consistent approaches in how doctors care for PFIC\, reducing the variability in treatment plans that patients experience across different centers. \nWe’d love to have you and to hear your valuable perspective. Join us from your desk\, couch\, park\, or wherever you are. We look forward to seeing you there! ❤️  \nYou do not need to have attended a previous focus group to join this one! Project IMPACT is our ongoing patient-centered outcomes research education project. Check out the IMPACT project webpage for more info on the project. Interested in getting involved and getting up to speed? Click the “Participate” button on the webpage to take Modules 1 \,2\, & 3 today! \nThis project is funded through a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) Eugene Washington Engagement Award (EASO-30455).

SUMMARY:Patient Support Group
DESCRIPTION:What the support group is about – The group offers a safe and welcoming space in which PFIC patients can connect with one another\, share their experiences\, and offer one another support. \nWhy it’s important – Having a rare disease can be exhausting\, overwhelming\, and isolating. It’s important to have a space in which you feel seen\, heard\, and valued. Our goal is to make this support group into just such a space\, so that participants leave feeling connected\, understood\, and recharged. \nAll patients are invited to join. Register for the session here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIof-uprzwvH9TwyWR9VkDra2yrkD2cR-DN \nHosted by Lisa Jensen.

SUMMARY:Grandparents & Non-Caregiver Support Group
DESCRIPTION:Most of our programs focus on supporting PFIC patients and their caregivers. The impact of PFIC spreads far beyond this group\, though. If you are a non-caregiving relative or close friend of a PFIC patient\, you already know this. This support group is for YOU! We’ve created this group with grandparents in mind\, but all non-caregiving family members and friends are welcome. \nRegister for the session here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAtcuytqjotG9S7CETiXzb2BGqaMOZCer6n

SUMMARY:Parent & Caregiver Support Group
DESCRIPTION:What the support group is about – The group offers a safe and welcoming space in which parents and caregivers of PFIC patients can connect with one another\, share their experiences\, and offer one another support. \nWhy it’s important – Parenting a child with a rare disease can be exhausting\, overwhelming\, and isolating. It’s important to have a space in which you feel seen\, heard\, and valued. Our goal is to make this support group into just such a space\, so that participants leave feeling connected\, understood\, and recharged. \nAll parents and caregivers are invited to join. Register for the session here: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYof-qppzojG9Yx8Jz7rQmgcWGwjZY6KA9A  \nHosted by Lisa Jensen. Lisa’s Bio: \nHow are you connected to PFIC?\nMy friend’s daughter has PFIC.\nWhat is your role in the network?\nI facilitate an online support group for families and individuals affected by PFIC.\nWhere are you located?\nOn a farm just outside of Lexington\, KY.\nWhat do you hope to accomplish?\nI hope to help build an active and thriving support group—one in which all members feel safe\, heard\, understood\, and valued. Living with a rare disease or loving someone with a rare disease can be overwhelming and isolating. There is so much empathy\, wisdom\, knowledge\, and experience within the PFIC community\, though. My hope is to create a space in which members can turn toward one another\, draw upon these strengths\, and heal together.\nWhat skills do you bring to the network?\nI care about people\, have a passion for mental health\, and value meaningful connection. In addition to having a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology\, I have firsthand experience in living with a debilitating chronic illness. I created an online community for my fellow Covid-19 long-haulers\, where I have both witnessed and felt the healing that comes from being part of a group that deeply understands what you are going through.\nWhat would you sing at karaoke night?\nProbably “Landslide\,” since I can actually hit the high notes—at least on a good day!
