Networking Coffees are support group meetings that take place at the homes of JDRF volunteers. These meetings are a way for parents and other caregivers to interact, share diabetes management tips, and learn about JDRF. Featured speakers include healthcare professionals and other experts in the diabetes field. A variety of topics are covered, such as travel, school issues, pump therapy, nutrition, and how to choose a babysitter. In addition, JDRF holds regular Specialty Networking Coffee programs that take place at larger venues as well as Kids Meeting Kids events where children can get together. JDRF encourages all families to attend, as the Networking Coffees are not limited to the newly diagnosed. Parents who have been “been there and done that” also have the opportunity to learn, share ideas, and provide much-needed support to families with a recent diagnosis. (more)
