Register now

We are hosting a free webinar for UCD, CGD and Cystinosis patients and caregivers. For a lot of patients and caregivers, medical blood draws and injections can cause anxiety, fear, and even trauma due to the needles involved. The webinar features Pamela Alma Weymouth from MIGHTY KIDS CAN called “Trauma-Less Needle Pokes: 7 Steps to Easier Injections, Blood Draws, and IVs.” It is our intent to offer education and techniques for patients and caregivers to manage stress during needle-poke procedures. Each step in this plan is backed by evidence-based research, but these are recommendations only and may need to be modified to work best for you or your child’s specific medical situation.
