Lupus & You: The Male Journey

We are excited to present our signature education event -- Lupus & You: Answers, Advocacy. Action. This free educational series will bring you the latest in lupus research, disease management, and education - and share ways you can engage in advocacy and awareness in your community.

Many men with lupus are often met with surprise when sharing their diagnosis, stemming from the common misconception that lupus primarily affects women. However, research shows that 1 in 10 people with lupus are men. This event will feature expert insights from a medical professional, as well as personal stories — one from a male lupus warrior and another from a family member’s perspective.

When: Thursday, June 26, 2025

7:00 - 8:30 PM ET | 6:00 - 7:30 PM CT | 4:00 - 5:30 PM PT

Event Topic: We will talk with medical experts and hear personal stories that challenge the misconception that lupus only affects women, highlighting the experiences of men living with lupus and their families.

Attendees will also have an opportunity to ask questions during the event’s Q&A portion.
