Support Webinars
Throughout the year, NEHA hosts webinars for our community members. Webinars are live events with audio, video and chat capabilities. This allows members of the New England bleeding disorders community to get involved with our chapter and ask questions without needing to travel to one of our events.

Back To School Community Forum
As parents continue to wonder what returning to school looks like this year due to COVID-19, we hosted a community forum to help the New England bleeding disorders community with this transition. A certified school psychologist, nurse, and teacher led the conversation, answered questions, and offered resources to help families with this new learning environment—whether that is in-person, remote learning, or a combination.
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
Sharing stories has a powerful ability to bring people together, help them understand each other’s perspectives, and helping to find common ground. This webinar featured a panel of community members who shared their stories about living with a bleeding disorder, or being part of a bleeding disorder family.
Humor, Magic & Medicine
In this webinar, we explored the relationship between the body and the mind. While sick people may not exactly be able to laugh their way back to health, scientists are looking very seriously at the potential therapeutic value of humor in managing stress.

This webinar focused on how siblings cope with this isolation, and how these coping mechanisms can be applied to our entire community during this time period.
Communicating in the Era of Social Media
The discussion helped our community members understand medical facts, like information about COVID-19, during a time when social media is the source of information and news. This visual presentation examined both serious and frivolous social media examples, and emphasizes the importance of fostering critical thinking.
