Six-Week Support Group for Kids Ages 10 - 13

This summer has been a time of networking, learning and sharing for teens and their parents who took part in our new six-week support group series presented with the Childrens Hospital of Los Angeles.

Now we’re building on the success of this series with a group for kids with lupus between the ages of 10 and 13.  Starting Wednesday, September 9th and meeting weekly through October 21st, parents and children will tackle a different topic each session to help them cope with the challenges of managing a chronic disease. Sibling care will be provided. Details » 

To participate, please email or call Elyse Reyes at ereyes@lupusla.org or 310-657-5667. Space is limited.
