Teen Programs

Joslin's teen programs are offered in the spring and the fall for teens with diabetes and their families.  These programs offer the opportunity to meet other teens with diabetes and their families and to discuss such topics as coping with the stress of diabetes and balancing support and teen independence. Joslin’s teen programs are lead by family support specialist as well as pediatric diabetes medical specialists.

Discussion and Support Groups: We run groups for teens and young adults with type 1 diabetes to help them meet others and share their experiences. The groups are run by Jessica T. Markowitz, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist who works in the Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Section at Joslin. Click here for more information
