Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week arts-based storytelling workshop can improve social connection, identity, and emotional well-being in adolescents and young adults with diabetes. Ten participants aged 16-25 will attend weekly sessions involving writing, drawing, and group discussion. The goal is to see if this creative approach is feasible and acceptable as a supplement to standard diabetes care.
