Growing Up with Chronic Illness

Understanding the experience of growing up with a chronic illness means seeing the bigger picture. 

The Teapot Trust’s Young Voices programme have put together a resource to help understand how chronic illness impacts different areas of children and young peoples lives, and how it changes over different ages and life stages.

Over a series of creative workshops Young Voices volunteers, Abbie, Amber, Becky, Sophie, Hannah, Olivia, Rebecca, and others who wish to remain anonymous, came together to create something to help adults and professionals to see the ‘whole picture’. It was also important for children and young people to see their experiences growing up represented.
