Me & IBD Strategies for Living Weekenders


Crohn's and Colitis UK is offering the opportunity for people aged between 18 and 25 years of age to join us for a weekend where we will explore what it means to live with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

There will be workshop sessions and time to share your experiences and coping strategies with other young adults, as well as some social time!

The workshops will cover:

Problem Solving
Food
Relationships
