webinar Stigma, Living with Psoriatic Disease ...
Psoriatic disease affects the wellbeing of family members, partners, and caregivers of people with psoriatic disease. The impact of the disease is seen as a direct consequence of the disease itself, e.g. the toll of the diagnosis and treatment journeys, how it affects everyday family life, the burden of care for the person with the disease, and the stigma from society.
We know that misconceptions, prejudices, and stigma are correlated with the lack of knowledge about the disease. Studies have shown that misconceptions are primarily broken down by meeting or knowing someone with psoriatic disease.
It is time to stop the stigma. As a global organization, we want to bring awareness to the real impact of psoriatic disease on parents, siblings, children, partners, and caregivers globally, and improve their wellbeing.
