How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Community Education and Advocacy to Increase Awareness
    methodology: community-education-and-advocacy
    By combining public education with advocacy, we increase awareness and policy attention around Lyme and tick-borne diseases, because informed communities are better equipped to prevent disease and demand systemic change.
  • Community-Driven Peer Support to Reduce Isolation
    methodology: community-driven support
    By facilitating peer-led support groups, we reduce psychosocial isolation among Lyme patients, because shared lived experience fosters emotional resilience and sustained engagement in care.
  • Early Detection Through Tick Testing
    methodology: early_detection_through_tick_testing
    By promoting tick testing, we enable early identification of Lyme disease exposure, because early detection improves treatment outcomes and reduces long-term morbidity.
  • Patient Navigation to Bridge Gaps in Care
    methodology: patient navigation and education
    By connecting patients to Lyme-literate providers and educating them on the healthcare system, we improve access to accurate diagnosis and treatment, because systemic gaps in mainstream care often delay or prevent effective intervention.
