Summary

This study tests a two-part virtual program for teens aged 13-18 with Fontan physiology, a type of single-ventricle heart disease. The first part is a small-group wellness education session each week for 5 weeks, led by a psychologist. The second part is a personalized home exercise program. Researchers want to see if the program is feasible and can improve resilience, reduce frailty, and increase daily activity. The study is small with 30 participants and is not yet recruiting.
