Teen Talk is a get-together for teens (now in its 5th year), 13 to 18 years old, who have a parent with MS. Through discussion and activities, teens share with each other about life with MS and life in general.
Carol Napoli, RN, LPC, a licensed counselor, has co-led Teen Talk for five years. She has extensive experience working with children and teens and loves seeing and learning about the world through their eyes.
