Behçet’s UK Trustee, Fionnuala Mc Kinley, is starting a new online support group for spouses and partners of people living with Behçet’s.
The first meeting will take place on Monday 1 December 2025 at 7pm.
When a partner develops a long-term chronic illness like Behçet’s, it affects more than just the person living with the condition. Family, friends, and co-workers may feel the impact, but often the greatest effect is on their spouse or partner.
Fionnuala Mc Kinley, Behçet’s UK Trustee
This group provides a safe and supportive space for anyone living in the UK whose spouse or partner has Behçet’s to share their thoughts and connect with others in similar situations who understand what they’re going through.
Sessions are facilitated by Fionnuala and take place online via Zoom. The group is open to spouses and partners (18+) of people living in the UK who have been diagnosed with, or are seeking a diagnosis of, Behçet’s.
If you are interested in joining this meeting, please visit our Behçet’s Support Group page and complete the online registration form by 11:30 am on Monday 1 December 2025.
If you are unable to attend this meeting but would like to receive invitations to future meetings, please complete the online registration form at any time.
