Europe (EFCCA)

EFCCA would like to promote the discussion on IBD and wellbeing.

We see often that people with IBD do not really tell their story. They might live with pain and think it´s just part of the disease. They might feel bad about their self-image but do not talk about it. They might have good medical scores related to their disease, but their quality of life is poor. 

With our awareness raising campaign we want to start a dialogue and discussions on the psychological impact of the disease. Through a social media awareness raising campaign leading up to 19 May we want to show the hidden facts about what it is like to live with IBD. Under the hashtag #breakthesilence we want to show the world how a person with IBD really feels
