Living with IBD

ROFY (Reach Out for Youth) was founded on Long Island, New York in 1979 to help children with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. We provide a hand to hold, a shoulder to lean on, and the voices of experience from those who have raised children with Crohn's and related diseases and know how important support and education are for the child and the family.

Living with IBD can be difficult at times. ROFY offers families the opportunity to call us, email us, or chat with us on Facebook at any time to discuss their concerns. You can contact us by calling 631-293-3102, or sending an email to info@reachoutforyouth.org, or searching for us on Facebook. ROFY is connected with physicians at Schneider Children's Hospital at North Shore LIJ, Winthrop University Hospital, and Stony Brook University Medical Center.

We are here for your child, for your family, and for you.
