💙 As a part of Therapeutic Recreation Week, it is recommended to get involved in your local community. Living with bronchiectasis or NTM lung disease can sometimes feel isolating, but connecting with your community can help build friendships, purpose, and support. Do make time for connection- other people will learn to understand you over time, and your need to cancel or postpone an event as needed.
✨ Ways to get involved in your local area:
✅ Volunteer with a local nonprofit or community organization
✅ Attend library events, workshops, or book clubs
✅ Participate in community recreation or wellness programs
✅ Visit local parks, community centers, or senior centers
✅ Connect with faith-based or civic organizations
✅ Attend health fairs and community education events
Remember, involvement doesn't have to be big to be meaningful. Whether it's attending a monthly meeting or volunteering for an hour, small connections can make a big difference. Community reminds us that we are stronger together. Every connection is an opportunity to learn, grow, and support one another. Do you want to share your experience with a community group in your area?
It is not our intention to serve as a substitute for medical advice and any content posted should not be used for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. We make every effort to support our members, our medical professionals cannot and will not provide a diagnosis or suggest a specific medication; those decisions should be left to your personal medical team. While we encourage individuals to share their personal experiences with COPD, please consult a physician before making changes to your own COPD management plan.
Community posts are monitored by the 360social Community Manager, as well as staff respiratory therapists, educators, and other medical professionals.
