Upon learning of her newborn son’s cystic fibrosis diagnosis at 2 weeks old, Melissa wanted to find a balance between doing research and protecting her mental health. She shared these challenges with her CF care center social worker, who recommended CF Peer Connect to connect with another first-time mom. After being matched, they’ve discussed the impacts of CF, caring for a newborn, and the joys and lessons of raising a baby. Whether you’re experiencing a new CF diagnosis or just want to connect with someone who understands what you are going through, CF Peer Connect can help.
