Teens Talk Transition Workshop Oct 19, 2019 @ 10:00 AM - Noon Alberta Children's Hospital Teens Talk Transition is a free 3-week program designed to support teens with a long term health condition in learning medical management and advocacy skills.

A simultaneous workshop will be held for parents at the same location so they can support their children in developing medical management and advocacy skills. Teens Talk Transition will be held on 3 consecutive Saturdays – October 19, 2019 to November 2, 2019 from 10:00 a.m. to noon. at Alberta Children’s Hospital.
