Young Adult Peer Support Event

Are you someone who is 18–30 and living with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis? Come hang out, share, and connect with people who actually get it at our virtual peer support event.

Living with Crohn’s or colitis can be tough, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. Connect with other young adults who understand the challenges, share real experiences, and support each other.  

A space to talk, learn, vent, and feel understood. Come have real, judgment‑free conversations and find support from people who truly get it. Come as you are—your story matters.

In this group, we talk about:

  • Independence and autonomy at this stage of life
  • Navigating school, work, and major transitions while managing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
  • Shifts in family, relationships, friendships, and social dynamics
  • How to share your diagnosis in ways that feel comfortable—with friends, partners, roommates, or colleagues

Registering is easy!
