John’s Story
We offer a Silicosis Mentor Program especially designed to engage with people directly affected by silicosis. It can be isolating and frightening when you’re trying to navigate a silicosis diagnosis.
We appreciate that no one understands your situation as well as another silicosis sufferer therefore we offer unique access to our trained volunteer mentors. They can walk alongside you, offering critical insights and help you to help yourself.
