Our next Tweens and Teens Weekend is being held in Wellington at The West Plaza Hotel. Tweens and teens with PWS are invited to attend with one parent / carer and accommodation will be in twin rooms. Our programme is to be confirmed and sent to your mail box soon, but it will involve sightseeing and fun activities around Wellington, as well as some focused sessions for both teens and parents. We also hope to be able to record a short video about life as a teenager with PWS, to be shown at the upcoming Asia-Pacific PWS Conference (participation optional).
