Speaker Series: Estrangement and Isolation

Living with a chronic illness can affect much more than physical health—it can also impact relationships, emotional well-being, and a sense of connection with others. Feelings of isolation, loneliness, and even estrangement from family, friends, workplaces, or social communities can be common yet are unspoken experiences for individuals living with GBS, CIDP, MMN, and related conditions. Join us for an important conversation exploring the emotional and social impact of chronic illness. This session will discuss why isolation, and relationship strain may occur, how chronic illness can change personal identities and support systems, and practical strategies for building connection, strengthening support networks, and prioritizing mental and emotional well-being. Whether you are living with a condition, caring for a loved one, or supporting someone on their journey, this discussion aims to provide understanding, validation, and tools for navigating these challenges.
