It can be really hard to know how best to support someone who’s living with Crohn’s or Colitis. The good news is that there are lots of things you can do to help.
This event offers the chance to join a virtual social event with other parents and carers from across the UK.
The event will be a chance to chat, share experiences and potentially learn from others. The topics discussed will be down to you and a trained volunteer will help to lead the meeting, making sure everyone has a chance to speak.
What to expect?
- Virtually meet other parents or carers whose children are affected by Crohn's or Colitis
- Have a chance to share experiences
- Discuss different topics
- Share top tips on supporting children with Crohn's or Colitis
- Learn more about Crohn's & Colitis UK and our Local Networks
