(StatePoint) Itâs important for everyone living with a lung disease like asthma to feel a sense of connection and belonging and to be understood. Beyond managing the physical challenges of the condition, coping with the mental and emotional aspects can be difficult. Finding a support system helps make living with a chronic lung disease a bit easier. In honor of Asthma Awareness Month in May, the American Lung Association is showcasing the Better Breathers Network (BBN), a virtual, patient-focused environment that offers meaningful resources to improve the lives of the more than 31 million adults living with a chronic lung disease such as asthma. Hereâs how the knowledge and connection of a support network can change your life.
