Transitions

Growing up is hard enough! Imagine learning how to cope with a serious illness while also experiencing the trials of moving out, financial responsibility, driving and more. It can be a lot! Research shows many pediatric patients are truly not ready to transition into adult care and have worse health outcomes as a result. Cavett Kids wants to be part of the positive change and to build a community of young adults who know what it’s like to live with a chronic or life-threatening disease and have the stress of growing up.

Our Transitions Group hosts young adults, ages 15-24, battling chronic or life-threatening illnesses for quarterly events. We connect with others, share in our common struggles, build positive relationships, and set goals for the future all while having fun of course!
