Peer Support Network
Our peer support network is here to support you
Our online communities offer a way to share your experiences of living with a heart condition and connect with others who truly understand what you're going through.
Safe and moderated online communities
Our groups are carefully moderated by the Heart Foundation to ensure a respectful, safe and supportive environment. Whether you're living with a heart condition, or a carer, you’ll find a welcoming space to discuss your journey, share your challenges, and celebrate your victories.
Connect with others on a similar journey
Our peer support network is made up of two online communities.
- Our MyHeart MyLife online community is for adults (18 years and over) across Australia living with a heart condition, and their carers.
- Our Supporting Young Hearts online community is for adults aged 18-45 years living with a heart condition, and their carers, and offers the opportunity to connect with others at a similar stage of life.
Support to lead a heart-healthy life
When you join our peer support online communities you will have access to valuable tips and strategies for leading a heart-healthy life. From navigating the healthcare system and sharing heart-healthy recipes to improving your emotional wellbeing, you'll gain insights that can help improve your quality of life living with a heart condition.
