Parent/Guardian Support Group

Having a child with diabetes can be hard, and our community can help with some of the heavy lifting. Parents and guardians of a child with type 1 diabetes can join us the second Tuesday of every other month at 7pm starting April 11th. We will be discussing various topics each meeting based on the interests of our participants. This is a safe place for you to discuss challenges you are facing, see how others are dealing with similar challenges, get support, and build your community. Please email me with questions or topic suggestions you have philips@dyf.org.

Where: This virtual event will be held on Zoom, please register in advance.  After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

Insulliance Buddy Program
In partnership with the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals, Insulliance is a peer buddy program for youth and young adults with T1D ages 12-26. Submit an application and we will pair you with a similar aged person with T1D with interests like yours. We’ll kick off each quarter with a virtual onboarding session for new buddy pairs and we plan on having in-person meet ups several times a year in the San Francisco Bay Area. In between meet-ups, buddies can hang out and communicate as frequently as they’d like. Parents of buddies may also find great support in getting to know another family experiencing similar challenges with T1D.
Our first virtual kick-off session is planned for April 6th & a mentor program is also coming soon!
Applications can be submitted by filling out one of the forms below and sending it to philips@dyf.org.
