InvisiYouth provides our monthly resources and programming all year long for FREE for deserving teens and young adults living with chronic illnesses and disabilities. It’s our mission to empower them in all the non-medical aspects of their lives so they can adapt to thrive with any health struggles, so they need that mental wellbeing and life-approach strategies so they can find success and joy for themselves in daily living!
But we need YOUR HELP to continue doing this! And it just got TWICE as easy to make an impact!
