Join us for a peer support meeting led by Joy Pekar, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying).

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 can be 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.
