more
information and
support?
Get Linked
Up!
For the past four months, the
Getting It Together Rural Peer Support Project has been experimenting with a new
way of sharing information and linking people with {mosimage}hepatitis C who live
throughout rural SA.
The Get Linked Up service is a free monthly phone link-up that provides people with an opportunity to
talk with others from rural SA, and to access easy-to-understand information
about hepatitis C. The team behind the planning and facilitation of the link-ups
bring a wealth of personal knowledge and understanding about hepatitis C, and
really know just how difficult it can be living with hepatitis C in a rural
community, dealing with misunderstanding and stigma.
Two of the team members, Robbie
and Karen, participate in the link-up from rural SA, where they have lived for
many years. Will and Lyn also bring a detailed personal knowledge to the
service, and a comprehensive understanding of current hepatitis C information
gained through their work on the Hepatitis C Council Info & Support
Line.
Anyone from a rural community
who has hepatitis C can phone into the link-up free of charge and use the
opportunity to ask questions and to share information and ideas.
When: On the 4th Tuesday of each month; 1pm - 2pm
How: For information about how to get linked up, call Lyn
Green or Leslie Wightman at the Hepatitis C Council of SA on 1800 021 133 or 8362 8443, or email
