What We Do
At Gen Lyme, you’ll find a community that understands what you’re going through. Come to a Meet-Up!
We offer a Lyme disease support group and a community where you can make real friends.
meet-ups
One of the best avenues of support for Lyme patients is a personal connection with other patients. We hold Zoom Meet-Ups at least 5x/week. You're welcome to join as often or infrequently as you like. If you don't feel up to talking, you can always come to listen and be around people who understand.
stories
Lyme disease affects people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. We share stories to connect our community, show each other we’re not alone, and demonstrate the diverse and consequential ways Lyme impacts lives. We welcome you to share your story on our account!
Podcast
The Generation Lyme Podcast shares information and insights through personal stories to help people better understand and manage Lyme disease and other chronic illness experiences. Covering a wide variety of relevant topics, we raise awareness and show people in our community they’re not alone.
events
In 2021, we founded Gen Lyme Day to celebrate the people of the Lyme community. We also host a Holiday Party every December. We believe it’s vital for our community to have things to look forward to, and we are committed to offering them.
resources
We have compiled directories of financial assistance programs, housing assistance resources, educational sites, and guides for supporters seeking support for their own experiences and aiming to help loved ones dealing with Lyme.
