Heart to Heart Heart to Heart Heart to Heart is a support group open to any and all family members of children with heart conditions.
Support is offered through group discussions, speakers, and informal gatherings.
Currently, Heart to Heart is a collaborative effort between Children with Special Health Needs and Parent to Parent of Vermont. Betsy Lawrence, a social worker from CSHN, and Julianne Nickerson, a parent, co-lead the group. Each fall Dr. Yeager or Dr. Drucker, both pediatric cardiologists, present a topic to the group. Other speakers have discussed nutritional issues, behavioral concerns, parenting tips, etc. Open support meetings are a time for parents to get together knowing they can talk about anything they want.
