The Children’s IBD Center at Mount Sinai offers regular lectures to families on topics relevant to helping children and teens with IBD. Past lecture topics have included new therapies for IBD, alternative therapies for IBD and diet and nutrition in IBD. These lectures are held in Mount Sinai Medical Center’s Annenberg building, 1468 Madison Avenue at 100th Street. Lectures are given by Center staff or by invited guests.

Held at the same time as the lecture is IBDChat, a group for children and teens with IBD, run by licensed clinical social worker, Bambi Fisher. IBDChat is also open to siblings. The group offers participants the opportunity to discuss topics of interest to them and often includes creating an art project. Frequently guests at the group include young adult professionals with IBD who share their stories of success despite or even because of their IBD.

Every November The Children’s IBD Center at Mount Sinai fields runners in the ING New York City Marathon, Team IBDKids, to raise awareness of IBD & funds for research into the disease.
