Here’s a few ways to keep in touch with friends and family:
- Give them a call to see how they are doing
- Facetime using Whatsapp Video Call
- Use a video platform such as Zoom or Skype
Watch this fantastic video on how to use Zoom from John at St George’s ILD Support Group.
If you need any help using a smartphone or an online video system to stay connected to people you care about let us know. Email us on info@actionpf.org – we are here to help you!
Support groups – staying connected during coronavirus
If you are a leader:
- We can offer advice and support, connect you with other leaders, and run national and regional leaders' meetings to encourage and update one another. For more information email us at info@actionpf.org
If you are a member of a support group, or would like to be:
- Ask your support group leader if they can put you in touch with someone else from the group via the phone. To find out more about local or shared interest support groups (such as carers or transplant) see our Support groups page, or we can link you up.
Talk to someone...
If you need information or advice on living with pulmonary fibrosis, we are here to help. See our Support line page for information about how to speak with a specialist nurse or peer volunteer. Other sources of support include your local council and charities such as Silverline who run a befriending phone service or Cruse who offer bereavement support.
