Who is it for?
Anyone diagnosed with Hansen’s Disease including his or her family and friends.
How would it work?
Call me at 1-866-637-1525. You can also e-mail your questions and concerns about Hansen’s Disease by going to the bottom of this page and e-mailing me directly at admin@hansensdisease.org. You will receive a response within 48 hours via e-mail.
What would be the benefits of using this resource?
I will personally respond to all e-mails and telephone calls. I can certainly empathize with those of you, who have had difficulty finding answers to some of your questions or even asking them at all, as I too have struggled with this. I will answer questions related to resources that you can use, and give you referrals if I cannot help. As someone who has been diagnosed with Hansen’s Disease I believe I can offer a personal perspective by communicating some of the experiences and challenges that I have had to overcome and am still overcoming.
Would my e-mails be confidential?
Everything discussed via e-mail will be confidential on my part. However, being that this correspondence would take place over the Internet, there is no guarantee that someone else could not view it. If you call the toll-free number our conversation will be confidential.
