Listening to Families ME/CFS videos
A resource for families exploring ME/CFS for their children
It can be bewildering when a child or teenager does not recover as expected after a viral infection and remains very unwell.
If your family is exploring a diagnosis of ME/CFS, or have recently received one, this video series will be of interest. Hear from parents and those with professional expertise and lived experience of ME/CFS to help you with your family’s questions and experience.
The team at Listening to Families have published a series of short videos on ME/CFS, with the support of the Māia Health Foundation.
There are 18 videos in the series that cover a range of relevant topics such as: the diagnostic criteria, and suggestions of what to do and not to do while you are exploring ME/CFS. The videos are from 1 to 8 minutes long.
Thank you to Bruce Penny and Listening To Families, and to the discussion panel, for this powerful resource:
