Join us for our Annual General Meeting (for members)!
Then stay for our Panel Discussion on Disability Insurance and Disability Assistance for ME and FM patients (for members and non-members):
The Canadian Community Health Survey consistently reports that Canadians with ME and FM have the highest rates of poverty among people with chronic health conditions. Unable to work full-time, or even part-time, most depend on government or private insurance for disability assisntance. Applying for either is usually extremely challenging for patients due to stigma and misinformation.
Through this workshop we hope to answer your questions and provide practical approaches to dealing with government and insurance companies.
Send your questions to
info@mefm.bc.ca in advance if you cannot attend. For those attending online, have your questions ready.
This event will be live-streamed online. A link will be posted and sent out 1-2 days before the meeting. People viewing online will have opportunity to submit questions during the presentation.
