Caregiver support for bronchiectasis and NTM patients is essential for
managing these complex conditions. Caregivers play a crucial role in helping patients
navigate their treatment and daily challenges.

Support Groups- Online and
in-person support groups provide a platform for caregivers to connect with
others facing similar challenges. These groups allow for sharing experiences,
advice, and emotional support.
The link below includes information about our BNTM 360 Social Monthly Coffee
Breaks, NTMir link for in person local support
groups, and information about support through the BNTM Care Center Network: https://www.bronchiectasisandntminitiative.org/Learn-More/Educational-Materials-Resources/NTM-Support-Groups

I
have firsthand experience as a caregiver of a family member who has metastatic
cancer for many years. I have been a BNTM patient, a nurse, and a BNTM patient
advocate for a long time. I have witnessed a lot over the years, and I realize
how challenging caregiving can be at times. Please do find some ways to take
care of yourself as well. Too often, people ask about the patient but fail to ask how the caregiver is doing emotionally and physically. We are here
to support you and to check in to see how you are doing. If you are seeking
assistance, please email us at contactus@bronchandntm.org
