Programs for Young Adults, Youth and Children
Check out our Young Caregivers in Texas Aren’t Alone blog to get a glimpse into the lives of young caregivers and learn more about the heart behind these support groups. Through workshops, online peer support groups, and children and youth-specific resources, we can help young people navigate the disease and support parents in caring for the emotional well-being of their children.

Virtual Programs for Youth & Children
fAmiLy talkS Series
For parents and children who love a person with ALS.
Youth and children who love a person with ALS can understand much more than we give them credit for, and starting from a point of openness and honesty is crucial. fAmiLy talkS is a series for both parents and children to help encourage these open discussions about ALS.
Trauma-Informed Yoga
Youth today face so much trauma, including trauma connected with the ALS experience. Through the practice of Trauma-Informed Yoga and Mindfulness, youth can develop stress and trauma management, self-esteem, enhanced strength and flexibility, and enhanced concentration and memory.
