The Adolescent Leadership Council (TALC) of Hasbro Children's Hospital
About Us
Support for teens with chronic illness
TALC is a program for adolescents (age 13-18) who live with chronic medical illness and their families. We provide year-round programming focussing on support, advocacy, and healthcare transition skills.
Monthly Council Meetings
TALC meets monthly on Thursday nights. Teen participants choose the topics and skills for each meeting. There is also a parent group that meets at the same time.
Leadership Opportunities
TALC is also the official youth advisory council for Hasbro Children's Hospital. TALC members provide leadership to the hospital for issues related to the patient experience.
