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.

Join VHF for a highly interactive and engaging evening of virtual community connection and education at our family-friendly craft night. Learn how crafting is a great way to help pass the time and cope with stress. So bring your creativity and a willingness to learn and you will make a “No Sew Pillow” there will be two patterns to choose from, either a Valentines themed heart shaped pillow or recycle a favorite t-shirt into a square throw pillow! The possibilities are endless.

Spark your curiosity and join us in playing an exciting virtual escape room style adventure! Unlock the science of gene therapy research... before time runs out!
