Parents' Group
A welcoming community of caregivers to children and teens with Type 1 Diabetes.
Parents' Group is for any primary caregiver of a child/teen with T1D. You do not have to be a Camp Hendon participant in order to join us. Parents' Group meets the second Tuesday of every month at 7pm ET. For the foreseeable future, all meetings will be held via Zoom.
Each month, discussions will be led by credentialed professionals following the topics listed below. We encourage your input and participation! You are also welcome to simply join us for an hour of camaraderie and support, even if you choose not to engage in the discussion. We are here for YOU.
Questions? Contact Operations Manager Lori O'Bryant by email at lobryant@camphendon.org or call/text 502-544-1954.
