About this project
Why is Endometriosis Counseling so Important?
Endometriosis is a complex condition that brings not only physical but also emotional and social challenges. Many affected individuals feel alone and do not know where to find help and support. Competent endometriosis counseling can make a crucial difference. Our qualified endometriosis counselors provide not only information about the condition itself but also support in coping with symptoms and their far-reaching effects on the lives of those affected. The endometriosis counseling creates a safe space for exchange and support—especially when feelings like fear, uncertainty, frustration, disappointment, or anger take over.
Many endometriosis patients experience time constraints during medical consultations and feel inadequately informed. Questions remain unanswered, leading to confusion and helplessness. This is why the endometriosis counseling offered by the Endometriose-Vereinigung Deutschland is so important. We take our time, answer questions, and help prepare for the next medical appointment.
The endometriosis counseling is also aimed at individuals who suspect they may have endometriosis. It can provide new impulses for long-term sufferers seeking new solutions—such as pain-relieving or complementary therapies. The counseling also supports family members, such as partners or parents of those affected.
Why Do We Urgently Need More Qualified Counselors?
Currently, 40 to 50 affected individuals or family members reach out to us weekly. This high demand meets a small team of employed and volunteer counselors who can no longer keep up. This results in very long waiting times of weeks or even months. We cannot and do not want to accept this situation. We want to reduce waiting times and provide timely support to those affected.
What Can We Do?
Your donation will go directly towards funding a position for a qualified endometriosis counselor. By doing so, you can help shorten waiting times and support more individuals promptly.
Together, we can contribute to ensuring that those affected receive the help they deserve.
Every euro counts! Please share this appeal within your network—the more people learn about it, the greater our chance of success!
