Peer-to-Peer Support

Behçet’s Support Group Meetings

During COVID we had to temporarily suspend all in-person groups so we moved online and ran the groups via Zoom. The online groups proved popular, so they have continued and we now run a combination of online and in-person Behçet’s support groups.

More details about our support groups can be found here and details of upcoming support group meetings are shared on our events page, Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.

Online Patient Forum

Our forum is hosted on HealthUnlocked and allows you to discuss Behçet’s related issues anonymously with your peers

Facebook Groups

Members of Behçet’s UK who use Facebook are welcome to join our Facebook groups.

The groups are mostly small at the moment but we expect they will grow as they become a useful way for members to connect with others affected by Behçet’s.

Please be aware of the following:

• The groups are only for members of Behçet’s UK. This is so that we comply with safeguarding legislation and the duty of care obligations that all charities have to adhere to. If you aren’t a member yet you can join online here. Membership is normally £20 but it is free to under 25s and to those in the UK who are in receipt of benefits.
• When you ask to join the Facebook group(s) you must answer the 3 security questions so we can verify your Behçet’s UK membership. If you use a different name for Facebook, then please let us know your full name. If there are any problems we will send you a direct message to clarify.
• Each group has a list of rules to keep the groups a safe and calm place for all  – please read through these before posting.

We hope that you find the groups useful and if you have any questions about them please email info@behcetsuk.org

For those who don’t wish to join Behçet’s UK we encourage you to use our Online Patient Forum which is open to anyone affected by Behçet’s.
