Why Peer Support Matters for Illness

Living with chronic or serious illness is more than a medical challenge — it’s a personal, emotional, and social journey. The experience often brings fear, fatigue, and uncertainty, leaving people feeling overwhelmed and alone. Peer support helps ease that burden. By connecting with others living through similar health challenges, individuals can gain insights, empathy, and encouragement. Peer support builds community, helps normalize the experience of illness, and provides a space for emotional and mental resilience to grow.
