WHAT IS IT
A secure, online space for 12-17 year olds living with musculoskeletal diseases
HOW IT HELPS
Gives young people a safe place to connect and build confidence
These conditions don’t just affect the muscles, bones and joints. They impact every part of a young person’s health and wellbeing, making it harder to participate, connect and build confidence.
What is Chronically Connected?
- A secure, online platform to talk with others who “get it”
- A safe space where young people can be themselves
- A place where young people can access peer support and build meaningful friendships
- An opportunity to access reliable, evidence-based information
- A space to share victories and celebrate with other young people
What will your donation fund?
- Maintainance of our secure chat platform
- The training of youth moderators
- The co-design of additional resources
- Marketing of the platform, so we can reach all young people across Australia who need connection and support
"I like that you can talk about stuff that you can't with 'normal' kids, such as opening a can for the first time - small achievements like that you can talk about".
"What I love most about Chronically Connected is the other kids just get me - that and being able to access it any time."
“My child’s come to a stage where they are dealing with looking different as a teenager due to their chronic health condition, and there’s just not enough support services to help them deal with that. Chronically Connected provides social support and allows them to open up and talk about the impacts of chronic illness”.
A big thank you to our Supporters
Your donation today will directly impact the lives of young people who are feeling alone, misunderstood and isolated because of their musvuloskeletal condition.
