The Adolescent Leadership Council (TALC) of Hasbro Children’s Hospital is a group composed of teens and college student mentors who live with chronic medical illnesses. Participants in TALC live throughout Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Our college mentors attend local universities, including Brown University, Providence College, Rhode Island School of Design and Community Colleges of Rhode Island. Founded in September 2005, the group meets on a monthly basis throughout the school year. Discussion and activities focus on topics such as friends, families, transition, relationships and how they relate to chronic illnesses such as asthma, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, cancer, sickle cell disease and many others. In addition to the teen/mentor group, TALC has a concordant parent council comprised of parents of TALC teens. |
