lupus education programs

Lupus education programs are designed to inform individuals about systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a chronic autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's tissues. These programs teach about symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options, and ways to manage the condition, helping patients and their families understand how to live with lupus. They aim to improve awareness, promote early detection, and support better health outcomes through education on medication adherence, lifestyle adjustments, and recognizing flare-ups. Overall, these programs empower individuals to take an active role in managing their health.
