HYNDBURN Long covid peer support programme
What is the Long Covid Peer Support Programme?
This is a Free flexible programme for people in the Hyndburn Borough with long covid symptoms. Designed to help you manage your Covid symptoms more effectively. Learn to listen to your body and slow down and accept your recovery journey.
Attend a weekly peer support group via zoom from the comfort of your home. You will also have lifetime access to guided videos, and relaxing audios to help your body systems to recover at their own pace.
if you’ve had long-term Covid (or as it’s been dubbed ‘long Covid’), like me, you’ll know about the overwhelming tiredness, the
headaches, lack of sleep, panic attacks and many other symptoms that can seem unexpected that come with this virus. It isn’t a 2 week experience for many.
People who have been on the course found the experiences of other people who’ve had Covid very useful.
And then, of course, there’s the physical and emotional benefits too –
We are holding a series of taster sessions throughout April and early May 2021. book a place on the online introduction session here.
I’ve experienced the positive effects from taking this programme, as have others, which is why I honed and refined it to share the benefits and help you.
If you are suffering from Long-COVID but are located outside of the Hyndburn area, then please get in to touch to see how we can help you.
I'm Karen Haworth. I'm a long-term Covid sufferer.

The Programme is for you if you’ve had Coronavirus and are experiencing symptoms that are limiting what you can do.
It’s not a quick fix – it’s not intended to be – but it’s intended to give you relief from the symptoms you’re experiencing, and give you a sense of control and empowerment about your own recovery.
Please always talk to your doctor if your symptoms are this serious.

You can see examples of people who have been through the programme to read about their stories. You will also benefit from being with like-minded people. People who can relate to what you’re going through – who know that the symptoms don’t end after 2 weeks. This makes for great support and understanding, both during the programme
