Exercise and Juvenile Myositis

In this presentation, Dr. Laura Tasan explains the importance of exercise for JM patients. Since JM children suffer from endurance and fatigue issues, exercise for JM kids is a safe form of “medicine” to counter the effects of the disease on a JM patient’s muscles.

Unveiling the Future of Hope

This expert-led presentation is for parents about how to help their kids and themselves when their kids express high levels of emotional distress. Our presenters will talk about ways parents can calm themselves, share tips for talking to kids with age-appropriate information, and know when to find help from a professional. There will be a Q&A session immediately following the presentation.
