CF Peer Connect
CF Peer Connect is a one-to-one peer mentoring program for adults with CF and their family members to connect about shared experiences. No matter what you’re going through, there is someone who has been through a similar experience and can offer support. After you request a peer mentor, the CF Peer Connect team will match you with an adult with CF or a family member -- parent, partner, or spouse -- who has experience with the topics you want to learn more about.

You can request a peer mentor to talk about topics that are important to you, including:
  • Going to college
  • Making work/career decisions
  • Dating, relationships, and marriage
  • Adjusting to your child’s new diagnosis
  • Finding balance as a caregiver
  • Starting a family
  • Parenting
  • Getting diagnosed as a teen or adult
  • Considering lung transplant
  • Coping with bereavement
