Our facebook group is really thriving with now over 300 members and whenever I get the chance to promote the group I do. So when talking to a cardiologist about it he asked me what the makeup of the group was, and I thought I had an idea, but it was based on a hunch so I thought I’d find out.
So with the simple question of “What type of member are you” over a third responded and we got the following results:
| Member Type | Votes |
|---|---|
| Survivor | 72 |
| Partner | 18 |
| Parent/Guardian | 9 |
| Other | 6 |
Which diagramatically can be shown as…
So although the group is 2/3 survivors, it’s improtant to note that we have a healthy number of partners, parents and others. It’s clear that an SCA does not just affect the survivor, and that non survivors can gain a lot from being in the group. Either to help understand what it’s like to be a survivor or to converse with others in a similar position to them. So if you’ve been affected by an SCA it doesn’t matter which type of member you’d be, we’d love to have you join us.
