Heart to Heart is open to all parents of children born with congenital heart defects (CHD). Whether your "heart child" is an infant, a teenager, or somewhere in between, we welcome you. We meet once a month to visit and chat about parenting children with CHD. Those with children at home are welcome to bring them along. For our weekend dates, we enjoy having the whole family attend. We vary our meeting days, times and locations from month to month to try to include as many parents and families as possible. For more information or to volunteer to host Heart to Heart contact Patty Wiebe at pattyw@heartbeats.ca or 403-256-7423

Offbeats
This fun, activity-based group provides an opportunity for youth aged 10-17 years to come together in an informal setting and meet others who also live with CHD. Offbeats offers youth a chance to be part of a group that shares common experiences and challenges with the added bonus of peer-to-peer support and friendship. One member states, "It's a good environment. It's good to know there are other kids with heart disease."

Offbeats meets about once a month during the school year. Offbeats is always looking for and welcoming new members. If you would like to learn more about Offbeats, please call Kelly Webber at 403-955-7316.
