World Psoriasis Day 2024: Psoriatic Disease and Family--Standing Together in Support and Understanding
The report highlights how psoriatic disease disrupts routines, increases household responsibilities, and alters leisure activities. Families find themselves navigating practical and emotional challenges together, often without adequate support. This report emphasizes the vital but often unrecognized role that family members play in managing the disease—offering care during flare-ups and emotional reassurance while grappling with their own feelings of helplessness and frustration.
Frida Dunger , Executive Director of IFPA, notes:
World Psoriasis Day 2024 aims to raise awareness of these challenges and calls for stronger support networks. IFPA urges healthcare providers, communities, and policymakers to recognize the central role families play and ensure they receive the resources and support they need.
This year's campaign invites individuals and families to share their stories and raise awareness on social media using the hashtag #psoriaticdiseaseandfamily. Campaign materials, including the Family Report, are available at
psoriasisday.org .
Founded in 1971, IFPA is the international federation of psoriatic disease associations. IFPA's members represent over 60 million people living with psoriatic disease worldwide. More information about IFPA is available at https://ifpa-pso.com .
