The Trust's online support services have been expanded with the launch of two dedicated support groups
For moderated, peer-to-peer support, you can now join one of our two dedicated Facebook Support Groups. We offer one focused on recovery and support for survivors and families, and another for those who have been bereaved as a result of sepsis.
For those who survive, and for the families of those who don’t, the impact doesn’t end when the hospital stay is over. People are left navigating grief, trauma, long-term health complications, and, all too often, unanswered questions. That’s where support services matter.
We hear firsthand the realities behind the statistics and we know it's critical for our community to have somewhere to turn. We sit with families trying to make sense of what happened, and we connect survivors with others who understand.
Support services also strengthen everything else we do. They inform our advocacy, shape our education, and ground our campaigns in real lived experience. They remind decision-makers that behind every number is a person, a family, a story that matters.
Both groups are curated and moderated by Carol Goldie-Anderson, who is a support and education specialist in the field of change, loss and grief. She is also a sepsis survivor.
Most importantly, support is about dignity and compassion. We may not be able to change the outcome, but we can change how people are supported through it.
