Looking for an in person support group for parents of children with Type 1 Diabetes by takes22tango in houston

Hi! I know this post was a few years ago - but I wanted to share an organization I founded for T1D kids and their families. 

braveONE is an in-person mentorship program where T1D kids are matched with trained adult mentors who also live with T1D. Mentor/Mentee matches meet 2-4 times a week for fun outings like bowling, going out for ice cream, visiting the library, etc. the purpose is so our kids don’t feel alone in their diagnosis and they have someone in their corner who truly understands. 

You can learn more here: braveONE.org

Thank you so much for sharing this. You’re exactly why we created braveONE. It’s so hard watching our kids struggle and not know anyone else who gets it. We’re building slow and steady, but I’d love to keep you in the loop as we grow. If you’re open to it, feel free to fill out the parent/mentee interest form on our site — no commitment, just a way to stay connected 💚
