About us
Who we are
We are a team of change-makers who believe that everyone living with a chronic illness deserves to have the same access to tools, resources and a sense of community to be successful in their patient journey.
Situation Positive is a positive community dedicated to providing support and education to those affected by chronic illnesses. Situation Positive provides non-medical advice, knowledge and education for members. Situation Positive also provides a place to belong, where you can connect with others, and can find your voice. Situation Positive is a licensed non-profit that is free for people living with a chronic illness to join, participate and utilize the resources.
Situation Positive formed when two old friends were talking about the challenges they were having with their respective chronic illnesses. Matt and Tara have known each other for a long time, but did not know about each other’s personal struggle with illness. As they shared their stories, they realized that even though they had different conditions, they had many shared experiences. It was at that moment they realized that they could use their stories to help others.
