Peer Connections and Support

Caring for a loved one with leukemia can be isolating, overwhelming, and emotionally draining.

That’s why connecting with other caregivers matters so much.

Peer support provides a safe space to share the ups and downs with people who truly understand. It’s a place to learn practical tips, exchange encouragement, and be reminded that you don’t have to carry the weight alone.

These connections can ease isolation, strengthen resilience, and remind caregivers to care for themselves, too—because support for you means better care for your loved one.
