Mentorship can make a significant difference in a child or teen’s ability to cope with rheumatic disease. On October 27, join C+F’s Youth Mentorship Program crew to celebrate the power of mentorship this #NationalMentoringDay. You’ll get to meet other youth who understand what it’s like to live with a rheumatic condition, share stories, and chat about whatever is on your mind in a casual setting.

Feel free to drop in for a quick hello or stick around for the whole chat! It’s a no-pressure environment, perfect for hanging out, asking questions, and talking to others who understand what it’s like to navigate life with a rheumatic disease.

Here’s what a past attendee said:

“It wasn’t until I was on that Zoom call with six other people my age who had my same diagnosis as me that I truly felt seen in my experiences in growing up with JIA. The connection to the others was instant: it was so comforting to meet others who had also been through the same things I had.” – C+F Youth

Come celebrate #NationalMentoringDay with us. We look forward to seeing you there!
