Zoe Karakikla-MitsakouLupus Europe is set to mark World Lupus Day with a webinar aimed specifically at young people living with lupus. The webinar, “Lupus and Youth: A Dialogue between the Lupus Europe Youth Group and a Young Rheumatologist,” is scheduled for the 10th of May at 19:00 CET.
Why This Webinar Matters
Lupus frequently affects people during their prime years. Openly discussing and addressing the unique challenges faced by young people with lupus is crucial for enhancing their quality of life and understanding of their condition. Lupus Europe recognises this need and is bringing the Lupus Europe Youth Group and a Young Rheumatologist together to foster a supportive dialogue.
What to Expect
The webinar will be led by the vibrant and knowledgeable Dr. Francesca Crisafulli from Italy. Co-leading the webinar will be members of the Lupus Europe Youth Group. Dr. Crisafulli, a young rheumatologist and lupologist, will offer her expert insights into the disease and answer questions from participants. This format encourages open communication between young lupus patients and the specialist. It also allows attendees to gain a deeper understanding of young peoples’ concerns and experiences.
Engaging Young Voices

By dedicating this webinar to young voices, led by young voices, the specific concerns and perspectives of younger patients can be heard in their own voice.
