What is meet@teenheart?
Just like the name says, our meet@teenheart
programme aims to help you to meet other teenagers with heart
conditions.
If you are coming to this webpage for the
first time you might not have met another young person with a heart
condition before. Believe us when we say you are not
alone! Teenagers have told us that one of the best things
about our events is having the chance to chat to other young people
who understand. What are you waiting for? Come and join
us!
We also offer lots of information and
support so you can find out more about your condition and take
control of your own health.
