JDRF Chats from Home

Whether you live in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, or Vermont, select from the options below and join us for a Chat from Home! These informal virtual gatherings will be hosted by parents of children living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and adults living with T1D. Come and meet other members of the T1D community, ask questions, share the triumphs and challenges of T1D, or just drop-in and listen. We are especially looking forward to welcoming individuals and families who have been diagnosed in the past year! While the chats are divided by age group, please feel free to join a meeting that fits your schedule—what matters is that you have the chance to meet other members of the Greater New England T1D community. With the exception of the adult chat, these sessions are intended for parents and caregivers of children living with T1D.
