being a founding co-chair of the @IBDonCampus back in 2007 set me up for so many patient advocacy opportunities and my career in pediatric psychology.

Despite 2020 being a challenging year, we saw some important #IBD advocacy successes on the state and federal levels. Check out our new #IBDVisible blog post detailing these victories and why they're important for patients: https://t.co/S17Chxy8de

Your #IBD story is the most powerful tool you have to make a difference in public policy. By sharing experiences w/your legislators, you put a face to the issues & provide evidence to encourage them to support legislation, like #SafeStepAct. (1/2) #CCAwarenessWeek #IBDVisible

@CrohnsColitisFn Nothing replaces the power of a shared experience. It’s almost like an unspoken bond of solidarity. Grateful for the friendships forged w/ the CCF comm., other caregivers and physicians both @mghfcgi and nationally at other @ImproveCareNow Pedi IBD Centers.

A11 pt. 2: Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it (it’s not a sign of weakness, but rather a strength!)💪 #IBDchat

[NCCL Crohn’s & Colitis @IBDonCampus]

A11: YOU’RE NOT ALONE! There are so many people w/in this community who WANT to help you! Don’t ever give up when it feels like too much because you’re an #IBDWARRIOR & things will get better with help from a friend, support group, or a mental health care professional!#IBDchat

A10: It’s a tricky time for IBD patients dealing with the uncertainty of COVID19. I try to remain positive & do my best to protect myself & those around me by wearing a mask & social distancing. Stay tuned for more content coming about IBD & COVID on college campuses. #IBDchat

[NCCL Crohn’s & Colitis @IBDonCampus]

A9: Joining the NCCL by far! Being surrounded by 20 IBD patients & caregivers who all want to help the IBD community is SO empowering. This opportunity to advocate for IBD and share my story has helped me accept & cope with my disease tremendously! #IBDchat
