About the event
Join our grief and chronic illness conversation. This online chat is for people impacted by mitochondrial disease (mito) to share and learn in a supportive space. An experienced grief counsellor, Nathan MacArthur, will lead the event. Together we will explore the emotional challenges of chronic illness. We will also discuss practical coping strategies.
We encourage you to submit your questions in advance.
