Long Covid Lives is a three-part graphic series which explores the lived experiences of young people living with Long Covid. It is based on a research project where young people were interviewed about their experiences. Our research shows that young people living with Long Covid can struggle to access care and support as well as to have their voices heard.
Part One explores the difficulties young people experiencing a range of ongoing symptoms face in being believed and accessing care and support. Part Two explores the multiple, varying impacts of Long Covid and the pandemic on young people’s lives, and how the care available is often fragmented, failing to see young people’s illness experience as a whole. Part Three explores how, despite the challenges of chronic illness, young people adapt and remake their worlds in order to live with Long Covid.
Long Covid Lives has been produced from research undertaken by the Covid Made Long Project at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in partnership with Imperial College London, Long Covid Kids, and Long Covid Support.
