A Turtle's Journal
Blog
Grab onto some seaweed and hold on tight because it's about to get real. Our founder Sydney holds no punches in this refreshingly honest blog about her own ups and downs of her chronic illness journey. She shares her stories, tips, tricks, and hopefully a little inspiration along the way to remind you that you can make it through too. Swim on over with the link below!
Turtle Talk
Facebook Group
If Facebook is more your flow, swim on over for a chronic illness patient only private Facebook group. Where you can meet other fellow turtles, ask questions, discuss your concerns and find solutions. There's a place over there for every kind of turtle, so don't be shy! Raise your flipper and introduce yourself! Odds are you'll find someone who is struggling with the same or at the very least similar struggle to yourself.
The Cove
Facebook Group
For those who are in the supportive role, such as a friend, family member or physician, we created a private Facebook group just for you. This is a group dedicated to giving you a place to ask questions, find resources, develop tools and relationships with others who are going through the same struggle. No question is a dumb question, especially if it is in the pursuit of helping someone else. Dip your toes in, the water's warm!
