Mind Your Liver. It Needs You. ™
Experience Vanessa’s journey as she navigates alcohol-associated liver failure. Her personal story inspired the creation of the Liver Awareness Foundation (LAF), a safe space for those affected by alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) and other lifestyle-related liver conditions. Through Vanessa’s experience, LAF’s mission comes to life: raising awareness, educating young adults, and challenging the stigma surrounding liver disease.
MIND YOUR LIVER. IT NEEDS YOU. ™
Alcohol-associated liver disease is becoming increasingly prevalent among young people. We educate and raise awareness about alcohol-associated liver disease, addressing alcohol use disorder and providing guidance to those affected by ALD. We empower young adults with knowledge about liver health and the risks of liver disease, encouraging peer discussions on lifestyle-related liver issues and the challenges that come with them.
WHY WE’re HERE
Our purpose is to empower young adults with essential knowledge about liver health and the lifestyle habits that can lead to liver conditions, including alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). We provide support, resources, and guidance to those affected by ALD, and offer a supportive space for individuals facing alcohol use disorder, which often leads to liver disease. We work to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health challenges that contribute to harmful drinking habits and unhealthy lifestyles, encouraging mindful lifestyle choices, early detection, and informed, positive decisions.
Our vision is a society where young people are informed, proactive, and mindful of liver health, reducing the stigma associated with liver problems and empowering a world free of liver disease.
MIND YOUR LIVER. IT NEEDS YOU. ™
Metabolic-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) is becoming increasingly common among young people. Unhealthy eating habits, sedentary lifestyles, and excessive alcohol intake all raise the risk of this condition. We’re here to educate youth about the serious impact of lifestyle habits on liver health. By empowering young adults with knowledge on healthy eating, regular physical activity, and responsible drinking, we can help prevent liver problems and support those affected.
As we gear up to make a positive impact, we invite you to join us on this new & exciting journey. Stay tuned for resources, support groups, workshop event dates, and engagement opportunities that empower our youth to prioritize their liver health. Join the movement and be the first to know when we launch!
