We’ll also discuss new medical updates and NHF’s course of action with VWD. Sponsored by CSL Behring.
During COVID-19, many children are now figuring out how to learn online through virtual schooling. Many parents and caregivers are now tasked with balancing work, online school, and child care.

What does it mean to be a future leader of the Bleeding Disorders Community? Is it possible to make a difference at my chapter while I'm still a teen? If you're looking to get involved these questions are probably on your mind. Come meet members of NBDF's National Youth Leadership Institute (NYLI), who will share how they've been able to make a difference through Education, Advocacy, and Chapter Work training. Not only are they making a difference - they're leveling up in the real world as a result.
This session will present findings from a national needs assessment conducted by NBDF in partnership with the CDC about the experiences and needs of people with bleeding disorders within African American communities.
