Our response
Covid-19 Pandemic
During these unprecedented times, our mental wellbeing is being hugely affected, and quality of life for yourself, your family members and loved ones, is being impacted in ways none of us could have imagined, even a few months ago.
When this is combined with the issues you, as a person with a bleeding disorder already faces, or your child, partner or parent faces, this can be even more overwhelming. It may be that you live on your own and are having to self-isolate. Each situation brings its own set of anxieties, concerns and testing times. But together, we can all get through this!
So, for anyone in the bleeding disorder community please remember that HBDCA is here for you.
Do not struggle on your own! We will try and support you in any way we can, emotionally and practically. Please email us, or call us and if we cannot help you, we will try and direct you to someone who can.
