An Update Regarding Seasonal Illnesses

To help prevent the spread of seasonal respiratory illnesses, we strongly encourage all visitors to wear a mask while in ambulatory clinics or inpatient units. Surgical masks are available at hospital and clinic entrances. Patients with respiratory illnesses should also wear masks. Thank you for helping protect our patients, staff, and community.

The Department of Pediatric Neurology at Boston Medical Center is here to support you during this difficult time. Check out this document for information and links to a ton of online resources that may be helpful to you and your family - including books, movies, chat rooms, community events, fitness programs, learning opportunities, and more!

General Information for Teens & Young Adults

Transition Together Mentorship Program

Transition Together is a mentorship program based in the Pediatric Neurology Department at Boston Medical Center. This program connects youth with epilepsy to peer mentors who can support them through their healthcare transition - during which youth take responsibility for their medical needs, gain self-management skills, and become more independent as they transition from pediatric to adult-centered care. Our hope is that these high-impact mentoring relationships will empower youth with confidence, skills, and resources to live well with epilepsy.

Transition Together Newsletters

Transition Together’s bi-weekly newsletters are sent to mentors, and contain information and resources that are relevant and helpful to youth and families.
