    Our Vision

    We’re building a future where young people are mindful of liver health, lifestyle-associated liver risks, and coping behaviour that is linked to liver disease.

    MIND YOUR LIVER. IT NEEDS YOU.™

    We’re changing how liver health is protected and understood.

    From awareness and early education to prevention and lifestyle guidance, the Liver Awareness Foundation is committed to empowering young adults with stigma-free liver health knowledge.We are building a future where liver diseases are understood earlier, information is accessible, and informed choices support healthier lives.

    Early Signals Initiative

    We have designed the Early Signals Initiative, a structured education and awareness resource package created to help young adults recognize liver health risks earlier and feel supported in navigating care. The initiative is built to be used across clinical and community settings to support earlier understanding, conversation, and action.

    Accessible Education

    Through patient friendly resources, visual education tools, and community based materials, we are bringing liver health education directly into clinical and community settings, starting with the Early Signals Initiative.

    Own Your Health. Re-write the Rules.

    Liver disease has many roots. It can develop through patterns we don’t always recognize as risky. That includes behaviours driven by chronic stress, emotional eating, alcohol use, or poor nutrition. It is also linked to obesity, metabolic health, and genetics.

    Liver Health Risks Are
    Real. That's why we're here.

    Liver risks aren’t rare. They’re just rarely talked about. From alcohol-associated liver disease to fatty liver, metabolic conditions, and liver damage linked to obesity, these risks are becoming more common, especially among young adults. Most can be managed or prevented with the right information and earlier recognition. 

    Note: We focus on the liver conditions that affect most young adults. The liver conditions linked to lifestyle, not rare or genetic causes.

    We equip young adults with the knowledge to understand liver health, recognize risks, and break the stigma around liver conditions.

    Prevent Liver Disease. Inspire Action.

    Chronic liver damage is becoming a silent pandemic, especially among young adults. During the Covid-19 pandemic, liver failure rates spiked in people ages 24 to 35, with alcohol-related cases rising sharply. But stigma and silence still keep too many from getting the help they need.

    Liver health is closely tied to how we live. The ways we respond to stress, use food or alcohol to cope, and handle pressure can all affect our risk more than most people realize. These patterns are common, but they are not often talked about. That’s why we’re here. To break down barriers, shift the conversation, and give people tools to take action early. We’re equipping this generation with real knowledge, clear guidance, and a sense of community.

    When you get involved, you help move that mission forward.

    We’re done waiting for a crisis. This is prevention with purpose. Support the shift. Get involved.

    We alert young people to liver health, conditions, and lifestyle related liver disease while addressing related stigmas.
