Advocacy and empowerment
In 9 monthly workshops, we bring together SCD clients, advocates, and health care workers for wide-ranging learning. Themes include strategies for Emergency Room visits, resiliency through mindfulness, and self-advocacy.
Sickle Cell Support Group
We host open forums for clients and their families to share and learn from each other with a focus on self-advocacy. These quarterly meetings focus on the sickle cell community and give a platform to strengthen each other and exchange experiences.
Holiday Giving Program
Over the holidays, SCAASF will be distributing gifts to families living with sickle cell and also the SF Fire Department Toy Drive from your donations.
