The Community Care Companion Guide

The Community Care Companion Guide is LEAD’s efforts towards empowering individuals who are leprosy patients, and also providing knowledge and support for their families, loved ones, and communities. The guide offers readers a road map to navigate self care in a practical manner while dealing with any disabilities and discomfort that might present in the duration of the illness. The guide is structured in a way that each chapter addresses and dispels myths around the disease and provides insight into the impact these myths may have on the lives of patients. The guide hopes to act as an educational resource to all those who may be affected by the illness, and also hopes to be a form of support they can turn to when needed.
