This peer-led workshop is for youth (ages 13 and up) living with a chronic health condition, along with their caregivers. It's an opportunity to start preparing for the transition from the pediatric to adult healthcare system. Through small-group activities and discussion, youth will connect with others, build self-management skills and gain confidence in managing their health. With guidance from trained peer facilitators, they'll set a personal health goal and create a plan to practice a new healthcare skill.

Who can participate?
Workshops are available to youth (aged 13+) with a health condition and their caregivers. It is open to residents of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and PEI as IWK Health provides care to youth from these provinces.
Our program is family-focused! We require at least one parent/caregiver to attend with their youth to help build independence, provide information on health history and to also learn about the transition process.
