Sjogren's Syndrome Wellness Support Project
Sjogren's Syndrome Wellness Support Project aims to improve the quality of life for those affected. Imagine living with constant dry eyes, dry mouth, and fatigue. That is the sad reality for patients with Sjögren’s Syndrome, a condition often misdiagnosed and underdiagnosed. This project aims to support these patients through a mental health workshop and care package distribution, helping them manage their condition and connect with a supportive community.
