Parenting a child with chronic illness often means carrying more than you imagined—anxiety, treatment pressures, and the constant effort to protect and soothe can leave you feeling overwhelmed and alone. At this virtual Town Hall, we were honored to welcome Dr. Eli Lebowitz (Yale School of Medicine), creator of Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), an evidence-based, parent-focused approach that meets families where they are and gives you practical tools that work at home. Dr. Lebowitz teaches supportive responses that strengthen your child’s ability to cope, offering a real lifeline for caregivers seeking confidence and connection on this often difficult journey.
The Importance of Research
Research is vital to finding better treatments and a cure for juvenile myositis. Cure JM funds research studies through our Cure JM Centers of Excellence and the Cure JM Clinical Care Network.
