Health Symposium

The Lupus Health Symposium & Fundraiser is a community-centered educational and wellness event designed to support individuals living with lupus, their caregivers, and the broader community.  This symposium brings together medical professionals, mental health specialists, patient advocates, and community partners to address the physical, emotional, and practical challenges of living with chronic illness.

​

Participants will gain valuable insight into lupus management, including understanding symptoms and treatments, navigating healthcare systems, managing pain and fatigue, and strengthening emotional well-being. The symposium also offers trauma-informed support groups, self-advocacy education, and access to essential community resources.   In addition to educational sessions, attendees will have opportunities to connect with peers, engage in guided wellness activities, and explore a resource fair featuring local organizations and service providers. Transportation assistance, initial care funding information, and ongoing support services will also be available to help reduce barriers to care.

​

This event is more than a health symposium—it is a space for healing, empowerment, and community connection. Together, we aim to bridge gaps in care, support caregivers, and ensure that individuals living with lupus are equipped with the tools, knowledge, and support they need to move from surviving to thriving.
