We are excited to announce Long COVID Essentials, a new collaboration between The Sick Times and Long COVID Justice, a project of Strategies for High Impact.
Over the next several months, we’ll be publishing over 30 resource sheets that provide foundational information about navigating Long COVID. Each sheet can be printed and/or shared as a digital PDF. Whether you’re newly experiencing confusing symptoms, have had this disease for years, or are helping others in your community, Long COVID Essentials will help you support yourself and your community.
This series is designed by and for people with Long COVID and associated diseases. Each resource sheet has been reviewed by people living with Long COVID and/or caregivers, and by medical experts who provide Long COVID care.
In the absence of public health support and guidance from our government and healthcare systems, we hope these resources will support you in taking care of yourself and your community. We’ve seen the attention of the media and leaders wane, funding disappear, and misinformation spread — even as the overlooked impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and Long COVID crisis remain widespread. And these impacts are hitting hardest in already marginalized communities.
Our work remains as urgent as ever, and we’ll keep bringing information to the fight for pandemic justice and care for all. The stories and experiences of people with Long COVID must be told, believed, and prioritized!
We encourage you to share Long COVID Essentials with healthcare providers, community leaders and organizations, mutual aid groups, on social media, and more.
To stay informed of when new resources are published (and much more!), join our list.
Long COVID Essentials is part of the health education component of our pilot Needs Assessment and Action Project (NYC).
