Dear Message Board Friends,
As many of you know, the National Association For Continence (the owner of this board and website) has long been an advocate for decreasing the stigma around urinary incontinence and related conditions. For over 38 years, we have provided education, community and support to those touched by incontinence and have advocated for increased quality standards in absorbent products on a national level. Every year, nearly 2 million people visit our website to learn about their condition, find out about new treatment options, find tools to help them talk with their doctor, or, like you, connect with others like them. We hope this space has given you the outlet and community you need to make dealing with incontinence a little bit easier.
We recently launched a new campaign called “Life Without Leaks”, where we hope to not only decrease the stigma of incontinence but provide those who are too scared to ask for help with the inspiration to open up about their condition. We know from our own research that most people wait an average of 7 years before talking to a doctor about incontinence. We feel that is too long, especially when there are so many treatments that can help get folks back on track and living the life they want. We hope you’ll check out our new campaign here, and on social media. (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). We've also included some of the imagery from the campaign here in this post.
This December, we want to highlight some of the work we do by hearing from some of the people we help. We are wondering if you might help us do that by replying to this thread (or in a Private Message to us, if that feels more comfortable) by answering these two questions:
1. What does NAFC mean to me?
2. What would I do if I could live a Life Without Leaks?
We hope you’ll be as open and honest in your replies to us as you can be, and tell us the ways NAFC has helped you manage both the emotional and physical aspects of incontinence.
Thanks so much for your continued support of us, and each other,
The NAFC team
