Lung Foundation Australia has many ways to help people with lung disease, including pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Check out our resources below.
Connecting with others
Talking to someone who really gets what you’re going through can make a big difference. Our PAH peer connect service can make a big difference by connecting you with someone who really gets what you’re going through.
Support groups
Support groups are a safe and friendly place where people with similar experiences can get together face-to-face or online. You can support each other, share tips and feel less alone. Lung Foundation Australia can help to find a group near you.
Webinars
Learn more about your condition from health experts and people living with PAH. Our webinars are a great way to get the latest info, advice, and support. You can watch live from home or catch a recording later.
Pulmonary rehabilitation
This is an exercise and education program run by specially trained health professionals. They will teach you how to manage shortness of breath and stay well.
Lungs in action
After pulmonary rehabilitation, it’s important to keep exercising to stay fit. The Lungs in action program is a fun exercise class to help people with lung disease or lung cancer maintain the benefits from pulmonary rehabilitation and live their best life. Learn more, or let us know if you’re interested in a class.
Support and palliative care
Palliative care can be a great help for you and your family. It’s all about improving your quality of life so you can live as well as you can for as long as possible. It works along with your other treatments and helps you manage your symptoms.
