You Are Not Alone. We’re Here for You.
Navigating life with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) can feel overwhelming—especially when you or your child is newly diagnosed. That’s why the Kopp Foundation for Diabetes offers personalized, youth-centered support to meet you where you are.
Whether you're looking for emotional encouragement, tech guidance, or community connection, our team and partners are here to help.
🤝 What We Offer
- One-on-One Navigation Calls:
Our trained support team and mentors provide free 30-minute calls for families seeking guidance.
- Newly Diagnosed Starter Kits:
Downloadable resources curated for children and teens—including a Youth Ambassador letter, tech overview, and mental health check-in guide.
- Family Resource Matching:
We help connect you with localized support groups, social workers, and grant programs.
- School Advocacy Support:
Need help setting up a 504 Plan or speaking with a school nurse? We’ll walk you through it.
💬 Youth Voices, Peer Support
No one understands a young person with T1D better than another young person with T1D. That’s why we prioritize:
- Youth Ambassadors as peer guides
- Mentorship pairings with older teens and young adults
- Webinars and hangouts led by youth, for youth
Because real connection reduces isolation—and fuels empowerment.
