For Josef, having a family he could openly talk to about his IBD has been an important part of his experience. Being able to lean on them for support and know they would listen without judgment made a real difference.
As part of our IBD Awareness Campaign’s Week on Families and IBD, we wanted to share a very personal reflection from our Executive Director, Stacy Dylan, about what it’s like to be the parent of a young adult living with IBD.

We’re excited to sponsor this special episode of the About IBD Podcast, hosted by Amber Tresca, featuring two perspectives on how IBD affects the entire family.

This week, we're looking at families and IBD for our Awareness Campaign. Our Executive Director Stacy sat down with Dr. Hassan Hamandi to talk about the many ways IBD can impact families. 🎥 Watch the full interview: youtu.be/hV9KUnYKZ9A.
Medical trauma can shape so much of how we experience our bodies, our care, and ourselves. Rob Nunnery, professional pickleball player, and Lowell sat down for a vulnerable and honest conversation about medical trauma: youtu.be/QqL_hJ_D9hM.
Medical trauma is a real experience for many people living with IBD, yet it's often left out of the conversation. If you've ever felt afraid, dismissed, overwhelmed, or emotionally impacted by your medical experiences, please know that you are not alone.💚
Medical trauma is a very real part of the IBD experience for some people, and it deserves to be acknowledged and supported. LDC Hannah Wurzburger sat down with GI psychologist Dr. Ilana Moss to discuss medical trauma.

As part of our IBD Awareness Campaign, Josef asked college students:
"What does health equity mean to you?"
Their answers remind us that health isn't just about medicine. It's about access, respect, compassion, and ensuring everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
When we talk about health equity, we're talking about making sure everyone has a fair opportunity to get the care they need.

For the first week of Connecting to Cure's Awareness Campaign, we're taking a closer look at health equity and what it means in the context of IBD. 💚
To kick off the conversation, Stacy sat down with Reynelda Solitaire.

Stable on Stelara, switched without notice. @BlueShieldCA forced a non-medical switch to a biosimilar; appeals were denied. After 24+ years of managing IBD, no one should face this kind of disruption. Treatment decisions should be made by patients & their doctors. Watch Video.
Can we work on insurance reform so we don't continue to harm patients and overburden thier families? Thank you for watching our video. @SenAdamSchiff @SenAlexPadilla @RepTedLieu @RepBarragan @RepRaulRuizMD @JayObernolte @RepJudyChu @RepLindaSanchez
