To address these needs, we provide resources and services to foster the development and operation of successful support groups for Hepatitis C and Co-infected patients. These services are provided to prospective and current support group facilitators free of charge. We also provide one-on-one mentoring services to Hepatitis C and liver transplant patients. Right now, a revolution in the treatment of Hepatitis C is underway. New generation (DAA's) direct-acting antivirals have recently become available, and an even more promising new class of drugs are in development and testing. These drugs offer the promise of a cure for individual patients, and the ability to stem an emerging healthcare crisis for society.
