Support Network

Who is it for?

Anyone diagnosed with Hansen's disease including his or her family and friends.

How does it work?

Call (678) 222-6040 only within the U.S. or e-mail me at nholmes@hansensdisease.org to address your questions and concerns about Hansen's disease.

What are the benefits of this resource?

I will personally respond to all e-mails and telephone calls. I can certainly empathize with those of you, who have had difficulty finding answers to some of your questions or even asking them at all, as I too have struggled with this. I will answer questions related to resources that you can use, and give you referrals if I cannot help. As someone who has been diagnosed with Hansen's disease, I believe I can offer a personal perspective by communicating some of the experiences and challenges I have had to overcome.

Are e-mails confidential?

Everything discussed via e-mail will be confidential on my part. However, since correspondence takes place over the Internet, there is no guarantee that someone else could not view it. Also, all calls are confidential.
