In this episode, the five youth champions behind the Chronicles podcast return to share their personal experiences – and experiences of family members close to them – of encountering severe, chronic illness while young. Together they discuss having to grow up fast and quickly adjust to a new “normal” at the moment of diagnosis, navigating stigma and misunderstandings about mental health and chronic illness, and how to approach global youth advocacy in a meaningful way.
