Wellbeing, resilience and coping skills
Your mental health can have its ups and downs on your liver journey so it’s great to find out how to adjust your thinking and remember that CLDF are here to support you.
Staying Connected
This webinar explores the benefits of meeting new contacts who can relate to you through your liver journey. Managing a liver condition can sometimes feel quite isolating, therefore it is great to hear about the opportunities and support CLDF can offer you.
