Summer is a time for kicking back, getting active or both! However you spend your summer, we hope you stay connected with us as we share stories, updates and tips from the Crohn's and colitis community.
Supporting Parents

“Parenting in any context can be stressful, but it is all the more difficult when you have a child with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD),” shares Dr. Sara Ahola Kohut, a psychologist and health clinician scientist at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto. “What parents do and how parents feel matter in a child’s life.” Learn more about the findings from current research studies on parenting, and the programs offered by Dr. Kohut at SickKids that are supported by Crohn’s and Colitis Canada to help parents care for themselves and their kids to improve health outcomes.
Double Your Impact!

Someone is diagnosed with IBD every day. Help us find a solution by donating to our COVID-19 Emergency Support Fund, where proceeds will go to research and patient support systems to help find cures for both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. By the way, if you act now your gift will have DOUBLE the impact thanks to an anonymous donor who is matching all gifts made—up to a total of $200,000.
Back By Popular Demand

Based on popular demand we’ve ordered more Gutsy masks and are making them available to our community. These popular masks feature our Gutsy person which is a symbol of courage, resilience and hope. As cities and venues open up, our new reality requires people to wear masks. What better way than donning a high quality, Canadian-made reusable mask with all proceeds going towards the critical work of a great charity! Also available now are replacement mask filters.

We still have a few left. But h urry –  they're going fast! Head here to add a subtle touch of Gutsy to your wardrobe and sport your #GutsyGarment in style.
Season One Ends

This Thursday wrapped up our last COVID-19 and IBD webinar for summer. But don’t fret – all the webinars will be on our page available for you to play, repeat, and pause any time you need! Along with webinar replays, our website provides valuable COVID-19 & IBD content and resources.


Once Upon a Time...


What happens when you bring together a world-class team of medical researchers, university professors, health literacy educators, and communications and graphic arts professionals? An incredibly brilliant and fun tool comes to fruition to help kids and their families understand the scientific realities of the COVID-19 virus and pandemic. Check out La Liberte’s resource here.
