A platform to connect and bridge the gap between practitioners (medical and holistic) with the community of those suffering from chronic complex medical and pain disorders, female reproductive challenges and miscarriages. We will dive into how all aspects of these conditions affect one’s mental health and address the challenges they face maneuvering through the Ontario medical, employment and disability system. Follow for transparent, engaging conversations with patients and practitioners.
