Support Groups in New Jersey
- Northern New Jersey and Rockland County Chapter
Passaic County Coffees
My child has just been diagnosed with diabetes. What do I do now? When a loved one is diagnosed with diabetes, it is a traumatic and stressful time. Fear, sadness, anger, and confusion about how to manage the disease can leave families feeling alone and overwhelmed. The Passaic Family Coffees can help.Through the Coffees, families and individuals touched by diabetes can get practical advice and emotional support for as long as they need it. When someone in need contacts our chapter looking for help, he or she will be invited to join our group to speak with families who have "been there" someone who knows how it feels.
Who can come to the Coffee?
The Passaic County Coffee program is open to anyone who has been touched by diabetes - family, friends, school nurses and teachers. Children with diabetes and their siblings are welcome to attend.Location YM-YMHA of North Jersey - One Pike Drive - Wayne, New Jersey
