Where do young adult renal transplant recipients fit in?
Young adult renal transplant recipients often have unique concerns and interests. To give them an opportunity to share these concerns with peers, a support group was established at Boston Children’s Hospital. Despite a less than enthusiastic beginning, this group is now well attended, meets four times a year, and has continued for over 4 years. The group has become a comfortable setting where the participants discuss their unique perspectives on schooling, family, and relationships.
