Doctors Attend Informative Event on Crohn's and Colitis - COLlive
Local support and education events help people with IBD connect with specialists and peers, learn about treatments and lifestyle tips, and access mental-health and pediatric/caregiver resources.
New local support groups can make managing IBD feel less isolating and provide practical help during flares and stressful times like holidays.
Adult patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, parents and caregivers of children with IBD, local clinicians and gastroenterology teams, and people seeking peer support or community IBD resources.
What To Know
This community news piece reports on a local informational/support event about Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis hosted by ULY and featuring patient speaker Mendy Pellin and a panel of doctors.
Speakers reviewed IBD basics, causes, treatment options, mental-health impacts, diet, and emerging research; a Q&A covered medications, diet, mental health, and new research.
The article announces a new Crown Heights Crohn’s and Colitis Support group that offers WhatsApp support, planned regular groups (including parents and caregivers), and a recommended-provider database. Recording access and contact email addresses are provided in the article.
If you missed the event, the organizers say a recording is available by contacting the listed email, and they plan another expert talk before Pesach focused on staying flare-free over the holiday.
The piece is primarily community-focused: it summarizes presentations, attendees’ reactions, and practical support resources rather than reporting new clinical data or treatment guidance. It highlights mental-health resources and peer support as central takeaways.
This is a community event report, not a clinical study. The article summarizes talks and resources; it does not present new trial results or medical recommendations. Contact information and a recording are available from the organizers for people wanting more detail.
