When Fibromyalgia happens at younger ages it can be frustrating and very isolating. Much of the information found online does not apply to children and young adults, or it is outdated in light of newer research. Our goal is to clear up this confusion and increase local resources by creating a school advocates program, provide mentorship and health coaching, and increase training for parents in advocacy roles.
