Spanish Support Group
Building Community, Support, and Hope for Spanish-Speaking Families
Sickle Cell Prodigy's Spanish Support Group (SSG) was created by Maite Rodriguez & Alexandra Abreu Minier to address a critical gap in the sickle cell community: the lack of culturally and linguistically appropriate support for Spanish-speaking patients and care partners navigating gene therapy, stem cell transplantation, and survivorship. The support group was developed to help close these gaps by creating a safe, welcoming space where participants can:
-
Connect with others who share similar experiences
-
Learn from patients, care partners, and experts
-
Discuss challenges and successes related to sickle cell disease
-
Receive support before, during, and after curative therapies
-
Access culturally responsive education and resources
Program Schedule
The group meets virtually on the last Friday of each month making participation accessible regardless of geographic location.
Upcoming sessions are scheduled for:
