Join the TMA Care Partner Affinity Group: A Space Just for You<\/strong><\/p>\n

Being a care partner to someone with myositis can be emotionally and physically challenging. Whether it\u2019s dealing with stress, anxiety, or the weight of daily caregiving tasks, it\u2019s easy to feel overwhelmed and burnt out. That\u2019s why the TMA Care Partner Affinity Group<\/strong>, founded in 2022, provides a supportive environment specifically for those who care for someone living with myositis.<\/p>\n

This group meets in its own dedicated breakout room within TMA\u2019s Worldwide\u00a0Support Group Meeting<\/strong> on the first Saturday of each month. It\u2019s a safe space where you<\/strong>, the care partner, are the focus\u2014not the patient. Here, you can connect with others who understand your unique challenges, share coping strategies, and discuss how to navigate the complex healthcare system. Whether it\u2019s accessing resources like home health aides, meal delivery, or transportation assistance\u2014or finding the right words to communicate with your loved one or healthcare team\u2014this group is here to help you through it all.<\/p>\n

To learn more about accessing breakout rooms, see ACCESSING ZOOM BREAKOUT ROOMS<\/a><\/p>\n

When?<\/strong>
\nFirst Saturday of every month at:
\n1:00 PM ET | 12:00 PM CT | 11:00 AM MT | 10:00 AM PT<\/p>\n

The emotional demands of caregiving are real, and sometimes, you just need a place to express frustrations, share victories, and lean on others who truly understand. The TMA Care Partner Affinity Group<\/strong> is here to provide the support, resources, and community you need to continue on your journey. Join us and find the strength to take care of yourself, too.<\/p>\n
