Atherosclerosis - Support Groups

Though atherosclerosis in and of itself is a relatively manageable disease given the right interventions, it is a disease nonetheless, and can lead to further complications such as cardiovascular disease. As a result, many related support groups focus on cardiovascular disease as opposed to solely focusing on atherosclerosis. Upon having been diagnosed, individuals may feel vulnerable, helpless or even clueless as to how they can improve their health.  It is in these moments that support is imperative.  Support from doctors and nurses is helpful, but people need backup from their family, community and peers, which oftentimes comes in the form of support groups.

One such support group, Mended Care, reaches out to patients with cardiovascular diseases.  They offer emotional support and care to those going through tough times.  Extending their care to all, they are present in the form of in-hospital visits, community support groups and education workshops.

Other similar support groups include the FH Foundation, WomenHeart, Mended Little Hearts, and Sisters by Heart.  While the FH foundation is widely focused and includes all patients as well as health care providers, the other mentioned support groups focus on specific demographic groups such as women and children.

WomenHeart is a group that supports women nationally through encouragement, teaching them various ways to cope, and promoting communication within their families and with their physicians. They provide various options of communication, including in-person meetings, email, and telephone.

Mended Little Hearts and Sisters by Heart are support groups that focus uniting parents of children with heart disease.  They deeply encourage peer communication and support, and work to help families obtain the resources they require during these times.
