Care Page – Sharing Lupus Resources

HAWMC_2012_dayprompt-41

 

Today’s Prompt:

  • Create a “care page” – a list of your best resources that someone who is newly diagnosed could go to when starting to advocate for themselves or a loved one. Remember to include sites that lead to successful self-advocacy!
