Conversations that Count Card Deck

The Conversations that Count card deck is a free, practical tool designed to help people living with Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP), their families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals start meaningful discussions about the realities of life with ITP. Perfect for use at home, in clinics, or even in schools, the deck provides prompts that encourage openness, empathy, and understanding.

Each card features a statement or question drawn from real experiences shared by patients and families. These prompts are designed to spark conversations that might otherwise feel difficult, helping to break down barriers and ensure that the voices of those living with ITP are heard. By using the deck, families can explore important topics together, clinicians can better understand patient perspectives, and young people can feel supported in expressing their feelings.

Importantly, the card deck also acknowledges the role of support people and caregivers. Living with ITP impacts not only the patient but also those who provide care and emotional support. These cards help caregivers share their own experiences, reflect on challenges, and feel validated in the vital role they play. Supporting the supporters is just as important as supporting the patient, and this resource helps ensure their voices are included in the conversation.

Thanks to the generous support of our community and Sobi, we are able to make the card deck available to our community free of charge. When ordering, we simply ask that you cover the cost of postage so we can continue to make it available to everyone who needs it.

Whether you are a patient, a parent, or a caregiver, the Conversations that Count card deck is an invaluable resource for building understanding, strengthening support networks, and creating space for conversations that truly matter.
