Rest Ministries

There are now some transcripts available from the online conference during National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week.  For some reason, I’m not yet seeing transcripts for the last two days – either they’re not all up yet or it’s just me.

Anyway, be sure to check them out, especially if you weren’t able to make it to the actual sessions.  I made it to a few, but – appropriatelyy enough – migraine attacks kept me away from most of them.  Some topics that were covered:

• Don’t BE Invisible: Workplace Success with INVISIBLE Chronic Illness
• Taking a Stand: How to Avoid Medical Mistakes
• Parenting When You Have a Chronic illness
• Invisible Disabilities: But You LOOK Good! / Statistics / What to Say / What Not to Say / How to Help?

Check out the transcripts here!  And remember, many of the speakers have websites and books and blogs that you can check out.  Once you click on the transcript, you can also read background on the speaker and find lots of helpful links.

Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week is launching today.  If you visited the website earlier, you may have been wondering why there was no speaker lineup.  Don’t worry, they were having some internet problems and the updates weren’t making it to your screen.  Scroll down on this page for a full schedule, and scroll down further for a list of the speakers.  There’s a great lineup – advocates, lawyers, doctors and authors, and topics including:

…and many more, of course!

If you can’t make it to the actual sessions, you can also come by 24/7 and chat with other visitors (a great time to share ideas!), or read the transcripts to see if someone asked the question you wanted to ask.

See you there!
