If / when pediatric patients are ready to receive support as a teen / young adult, there are a number of places for them to turn. Below we've included a list of support communities specific to the unique needs of the AYA (Adolescent / Young Adult) community.

ACCKT Patient Peer Support + Networking

ACCKT has a private networking / support page on Facebook specifically for patients / survivors diagnosed with pediatric onset ACC originally between the ages of 0-20 years old. Many times this is the first time a patient has had any direct contact with someone who’s gone through the same journey at a young age. This page is not meant for children under the age of 16.
