The goal of the YES program is encourage social connections and to practice skills that promote food allergy safety.

Monthly meetings will be offered for learning, playing, and making connections. Through a variety of fun activities, kids will learn emotional and social skills needing for coping with their food allergies. In addition to regular monthy get-togethers, two social outings will be planned during the year.
