ACT

May Awareness is the ACT ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Society’s annual campaign to raise funds for research and to continue our support for those people with ME/CFS/FMS, their families and carers.

People with ME/CFS and FMS are faced with many challenges. The illnesses affect social and family life as well as education and employment. Many are too unwell to work and others can only work part time. Young people at school or college require special consideration for attendance, assignment deadlines and exams. Some study at home through distance education.

Please help support the vital work of the ACT ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Society. We are here to help.

                                                                 All donations are gratefully received. 

                                                                      Thank you for your support.

The Self Help Course is designed to help people with ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia manage their health more effectively. The Course is run by trained facilitators in a supportive, small group setting. It is designed to not only help participants understand chronic illness but also to give them the tools to manage it.

The Self Help Course is an eight week program with a two hour session per week. It is based on Dr Bruce Campbell’s book The Patient's Guide to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia which is included in the cost of the Course.
