We have six clinics booked with Respiratory Care WA throughout the next year to help our mob better understand their respiratory conditions.
For our mob, managing respiratory conditions with a Respiratory Educator is not just about medical treatmentโitโs about cultural safety, empowerment, and community resilience. Respiratory Educators bridge the gap between clinical care and lived experience, ensuring that respiratory health management is effective, respectful, and sustainable.
Short of Breath, Think COPD ๐ซ
Today on World COPD Day, weโre sharing Geoffreyโs story.
Geoffrey (73), a proud Noongar man, has lived with asthma since childhood and now manages emphysema โ a chronic lung condition that makes breathing challenging.
When he was first diagnosed, Geoffrey didnโt know what emphysema was or how to manage it.
โThereโve been times when Iโve really struggled,โ he shares.
With culturally safe support from Arche Health Limited and Respiratory Care WA, Geoffrey has learned new ways to manage his breathing, stay active, and regain confidence in his daily life.
๐ฌ โDonโt give up โ keep pushing for the right diagnosis, and know that support is always out there.โ โ Geoffrey
