Pediatric Vasculitis
Self-Care
Self-care is the purposeful engagement in activities or strategies that promote healthy functioning and improved well-being. Although physicians and parents play a significant role in our care, it is vital to understand the importance of self-care and how you can nurture your mental well-being.
It is important to note that self-care looks and feels different to every person. Factors such as experience with the disease, coping skills, motivation, confidence, habits and support from others can influence self-care.
Vasculitis requires not just medical intervention but behavioral intervention as well. Self-care is necessary for everyone, but this is especially true for those affected by Vasculitis.
