Incontinence is common.
Talking about it should be, too.
People often spend years managing bladder or bowel control issues quietly, assuming they are the only ones. CKISG exists to create a place where the subject can be discussed plainly, respectfully, and without embarrassment.
Central Kentucky's dedicated peer-led support initiative for bladder and bowel health.
Why CKISG exists.
Bladder and bowel control challenges affect tens of millions of adults across the country, yet societal stigma often forces individuals to manage in silence, isolation, and quiet distress. CKISG was founded in Central Kentucky to replace isolation with genuine connection, dignity, and shared practical knowledge.
Whether you are navigating new post-surgical changes, managing a long-term chronic condition, or seeking reliable strategies for work, travel, and social comfort, you have an open seat at our table.
