HACA and VHF are teaming up for a teen advocacy program! This highly interactive advocacy program explains the different types of advocacy and engages participants in conversations about self-advocacy. Participants will problem solve situations that can occur at the doctor’s, at school, at work, and will work through other real world scenarios related to self-advocacy for persons with a bleeding disorder. This is a great opportunity to get your teen thinking about how they can talk about their bleeding disorder.
