Parent & Caregiver Guide: Supporting Independence With IBD

This free guide helps parents and caregivers support a young adult with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis as they take on more responsibility for managing their health.

The guide offers practical advice for gradually handing off tasks such as medications, refills, appointments, symptom tracking and insurance, while still providing support when it is needed. It also covers privacy, communication, preparing for college or work, helping young adults speak for themselves and knowing when to step back or step in.

Created for families navigating the transition to college, work and independent living with IBD, this resource can help parents move from managing care to coaching and supporting greater independence.

Comedian Amy Veltman opens this free evening with humor about pelvic floor health. Then join urogynecologist Dr. Lisa Dabney to learn about bladder leaks and treatment options. An informative conversation with a fun start!
