Balance: How to Live with Chronic Illness (Teens)
Balance is a skills-based support group for adolescents managing life with a chronic illness (e.g., POTS, migraines, depression, Lyme). Living with a chronic condition brings unique challenges that can upset daily balance; it can be especially overwhelming and lonely as a high schooler. This group offers a safe space for young people to connect and share their experiences while developing effective strategies to manage pain and fatigue. These strategies include activity pacing, movement, distress tolerance, scaling, and reframing. Dr. Gray and Cate work to help participants achieve a more balanced approach to life demands.
