Welcome to PKD Mind Matters: Supporting Mental and Emotional Well-Being in the PKD Community
At the PKD Foundation of Canada, we understand that living with polycystic kidney disease goes beyond the physical challenges. It's a journey with challenges that take a heavy toll on our mental health, and that's why the PKD Mind Matters initiative is a dedicated effort to provide meaningful support and resources for the mental well-being of our community.
Our Vision: In recognizing the holistic nature of living with a chronic disease, PKD Mind Matters aims to foster a community where individuals and families affected by PKD find comfort, resilience, and strength. We believe that addressing mental health is an integral part of the journey toward a healthier and more fulfilling life with PKD.
