Needle phobia is a medical condition that causes some people to be very fearful of medical procedures involving needles, like blood tests, injections, and IV starts. In some cases, it can keep people from getting such procedures, or even avoid all medical care.
That’s why we’re working on starting a nonprofit organization that will:
- Run support groups
- Provide educational information and workshops
- Advocate for the accommodations and interventions that people with needle phobia need
- Advocate for the use of alternative technologies
- And much more
We are currently seeking potential board members (especially in the San Francisco Bay Area) . If you’re interested, please contact us.
In the meantime, please join our Facebook support group or check back for updates.
