Youth Empowerment Program!
Youth Empowerment Program (YEP!) is dedicated to young people living with IBD. The program helps in acknowledgment and accommodation of physical limitations of the condition; to reduce the sense of social isolation and stigmatisation; to initiate a social support network through meeting peers in the encouraging and comfortable environments (both physical and virtual); to create dialogue and discussions surrounding the experience of IBD; to gain practical strategies in managing the illness during the key stages of adolescence to boost the confidence and independence; to set and achieve goals.
