About this meeting
The living with Narcolepsy group is an open drop-in for adults affected by Narcolepsy. The group offers weekly support based on participant needs as they arise while navigating life with Narcolepsy. Led by people directly affected by the condition, this is an ideal group to bring your current concerns and challenges to. While the focus is towards PWN, care-givers, parents and spouses are also warmly invited to participate within the peer to peer platform.

About the host
Hello! I am the Peer Support Group Coordinator for Wake Up Narcolepsy, and we are always looking for ways to improve the supports you need! My daughter, now 12, was diagnosed with Type 2 Narcolepsy when she was 8 years old. I was completely unprepared for the diagnosis and had so many questions. Desperately looking for answers and support, I wandered upon Wake Up Narcolepsy's website where I found a wealth of great information. Since then, I have made connections across the nation that have proven to be invaluable for learning how to navigate this condition. The support I have found within the support groups is allowing me to be a better advocate for my daughter and provide answers and ideas to the questions we both have. I hope you find the same. Join meetings weekly or as your schedule allows. We appreciate feedback and hope you will share ideas for improving upon what we have. Thank you for joining us! We look forward to getting to know you!
