SUMMARY:Pacing: Power in Slowing Down
DESCRIPTION:One of the cornerstones of our annual Advocacy Week program is the EmPOWER M.E. roundtable. Panels of patient advocates\, professionals\, and scientists share their expertise on topics relevant to the quality of life for people with ME/CFS and Long Covid and their caregivers. \nEmPOWER M.E. is dedicated to empowering patients and caregivers in medical and advocacy environments\, giving our community tools to share our stories with impact. \nDriven by patient input\, EmPOWER M.E. projects strive to ensure that no family ever has to learn “the hard way” on their journey with ME/CFS\, Long Covid\, or other post-infection diseases. \nThis year the EmPOWER M.E. topic is “Pacing: Power In Slowing Down.” \nThe program will include a main information session\, followed by two community forums with experts and patient leaders. \nPanelists include: \nTodd E. Davenport\, PT\, DPT\, PhD\, MPH \nDr. Lisa Hamilton\, OTD\, OTR/L \nHollis Mickey\, MA\, MFA \nClayton Powers\, DPT \n\nEmPOWER M.E. Main Session – Pacing: Power in Slowing Down\n10-11:00 am PDT / 1:00-2:00 pm EDT \nPacing is one of the most talked-about — but often misunderstood — tools in chronic illness management. In this informative session\, we’ll break down what pacing really means\, why it works\, and how it works — so no family has to learn the hard way. \nCommunity Forum: Pacing in Public: Know Your Rights \n11:30 am-12:00 pm PDT / 2:30-3:00 pm EDT  \nWe will explore the practical realities and impact of navigating pacing strategies in public spaces — including work\, education\, and civic life — from a care and support perspective\, as well as how support networks can play a role in reinforcing these strategies. \nCommunity Forum: Pacing at Home: Prioritizing\, Planning & The Art of Asking\n12:15-12:45 PM PDT / 3:15-3:45 PM EDT  \nWe will focus on how individuals living with ME/CFS and related conditions can structure their home routines through intentional pacing strategies — including prioritizing essential activities\, planning around limited energy\, and communicating needs to caregivers and support networks. \nClick here to register for our Friday\, June 27 EmPOWER M.E. event “Pacing: Power in Slowing Down.” \nClick here to view previous EmPOWER M.E. roundtable events.
