Peer support is one of the key foundations of the Finnish Association for Heart Children and Adults’ operations. It is available through the association in many forms, such as through the activities of regional departments, in closed Facebook peer support groups, in virtual peer discussions, and at various events.

When your child or you are diagnosed with a heart condition, experiences of others in the same situation help you cope and give you strength. The association’s trained peer support persons do valuable volunteer work and give you the opportunity to talk and share experiences. Based on their personal experiences, peer support persons have the ability and, above all, the desire to support those in the same situation.

You are not alone!
