Living with late-stage polycystic kidney disease (PKD) can feel overwhelming - and let’s be honest, it’s not always easy to talk about dialysis, transplant, or what comes after. But you’re not alone.
Join us for a PKD Mind Matters Chat, a friendly peer support meeting hosted by the PKD Foundation of Canada. This isn’t a formal webinar - there’s no speaker, no slides, and nothing will be recorded. Just real talk, in real time, with people who get it.
Whether you’re approaching or living with late-stage PKD (eGFR of 20 or less) yourself, supporting a loved one, or figuring out life after a transplant, this is a space for you. We’ll come together to share stories, swap ideas for coping, and offer support to one another. You don’t need to have all the answers - just showing up is enough.
Peer support is powerful. It reminds us we’re not alone, even in the hardest moments. Talking to others who’ve been through similar experiences can make a world of difference. You might hear something that helps you get through your next appointment - or you might say something that helps someone else breathe a little easier.
If you’ve been craving connection, comfort, or just a place where people understand what it’s like to live with PKD, we hope you’ll join us.
We’ve had many conversations about late-stage kidney disease in our past meetings, and this chat continues that support for those who need it most - patients, caregivers, family, and friends.
So grab a tea, log on, and let’s talk.
