CCFA Long Island Patient & Family Services Program To participate in any Support Group Program, you must be a current, paid member of CCFA. If you are not a current member, please enclose a check for $30 to cover membership dues, along with $15 per person support group fee. Please note that locations and times are subject to change.
Please check back for upcoming information regarding our IBD 101 Fall 2008 4-week introductory series.
Ongoing, Monthly, Specialized Support Groups: Couple's Program This program provides couples an opportunity to meet, in an informal and supportive setting, to discuss living and coping with chronic disease. Participants will be given the support and encouragement needed to work on the challenges couples face. | Nassau Couples Support | Suffolk Couples Support | Where: Woodbury, NY When: 4th Monday of each month Time: 7:30 pm | Where: Mather Hospital When: 1st Thursday of each month Time: 7:30 pm |
Parent's Program The purpose of this program is to provide parents of children with IBD (young and adult) an opportunity to meet other parents in a supportive setting to learn and share parenting skills to help their children and themselves. | Nassau Parent's Support | Suffolk Parent's Support | Where: Chapter Office, Garden City When: 1st Monday of each month Time: 7:30 pm | Where: Mather Hospital When: 1st Tuesday of each month Time: 7:30 pm |
Women's Program As workers, wives, mothers and caretakers, women face special issues in coping with the symptoms and side effects of their IBD. These diseases are chronic, painful conditions that have debilitating physical and psychological effects. One of the goals of this program is to empower women to manage their disease more successfully. | Nassau Women's Support | Suffolk Women's Support | Where: Chapter Office, Garden City When: 1st Wednesday of each month Time: 7:30 pm | Where: Mather Hospital When: 4th Tuesday of each month Time: 7:30 pm |
Men's Program Although stress does not cause IBD, significant stress may aggravate the symptoms of disease. Many men find that joining a support group devoted to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is beneficial because they can share their experiences and concerns with other men, and learn to understand how to deal with the additional pressures of illness. | Men's Support | Where: Syosset Hospital When: Last Tuesday of each month Time: 7:30 pm |

COMMERCE BANK AND CCFA—A WORKING PARTNERSHIP TO RAISE FUNDS FOR CCFA'S MISSION DO YOU BANK WITH COMMERCE? If you are a commerce bank customer or become one, it's as easy as 1-2-3 to help raise funds for CCFA. Commerce bank's affinity program helps charities by donating ½ of one percent of the average balance on all checking accounts and ¼ of one percent of the average balance of all savings, money market and retirement accounts, as well as other interest bearing instruments to the customer's participating organization. All you have to do is visit your branch and ask a representative to enroll you. It doesn't cost a thing and should take only a few minutes of your time. If you are saving funds for children or grandchildren with Crohn's or colitis, what a wonderful way to make that money even more meaningful!
New Patient "Buddy" Connection Looking to find support and comfort by talking to someone one on one who knows the challenges of living with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis? We'll connect you to a trained volunteer, based on your needs – to help answer questions, visit someone in the hospital, or just be there to listen. If you want a "Buddy", please contact Kate Lenzo at 516-222-5530 or klenzo@ccfa.org Workplace Giving Choosing CCFA as the recipient of your workplace giving campaign is one very important way you can help to find a cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Employees in corporations, federal agencies, and state/municipal governments nationwide give to CCFA through Community Health Charities. CHC has more than 50 years of experience in workplace giving. Touch the lives of people you know and help someone you don't know. If you would like information on how to bring Community Health Charities to your workplace, please call us at 516-222-5530 Donate Your Car, Boat or R.V. Before you sell your vehicle, consider donating it to CCFA. Our vehicle donation program helps to raise needed funds for research and community-based education programs. Our vehicle donation program makes it easy and you will also receive a tax deduction. Call Susan Gomberg at 516-222-5530 for more information or email sgomberg@ccfa.org.
