Welcome to our first Cocoa & Connection Night!
It can feel isolating to be a youth with JIA, Lupus or any other rheumatic disease. At times, it can be difficult to relate to your peers, and it’s easy to feel misunderstood.
That’s why we’re hosting a Cocoa & Connection Event, on February 15th, from 4-5 pm PST.
Part of our Youth Mentorship program, we hope you’ll join us for a chance to get to know other youth in our community, including our very own mentors – over a cup of hot chocolate.
This is a pressure-free way to get comfy, and get connected to youth who know what you are going through.
Ground Rules:
- Be respectful. Inappropriate language or harassment of any kind will not be tolerated and will result in your removal from the event.
- Keep the information shared by mentees, mentors and staff confidential (i.e. diagnosis, medical history etc.).
- Must be a teen or young adults with pediatric rheumatic diseases ages 13-22
