Extraordinary Teenz. Extraordinarily Brave.
Transplant Teenz supports all teenagers (ages 12-18 or until high school graduation) impacted by the transplant experience—whether they have undergone or are awaiting organ or tissue transplants, or have a household member who has gone through or is awaiting a transplant.
We understand the unique challenges that come with these experiences and aim to empower teens through virtual support groups, interactive resources, and a safe space to share the ups and downs that can come with healing.
Our superhero theme empowers Teenz to view common challenges such as depression, and body image, as villains they can conquer, rather than burdens they must endure. By fostering this mindset, we guide teens to navigate their transplant and adolescent journey with resilience, community, and self-acceptance.
Dr. Brittany and Micah Clayborne are the duo behind Transplant Teenz. The heart recipient and psychologist heard her son's fears of not being able to relate to anyone during his transplant journey and together they created Transplant Teenz.
