Young Adult Weekend Retreat

Stay tuned for details on our 2026 location and dates!

Our Young Adult Weekend Retreats have been a great success as they offer CRPS Warriors between the ages of 18 and 31 the opportunity to network, attend workshops, learn to advocate for themselves, and build a support system all while leaving time to sightsee and have unique experiences.

Our retreats have taken place in Austin, Denver, Nashville, New Orleans, Philadelphia, and San Diego! If you’re interested in attending our next retreat, email us at [email protected].

 

I knew from the first program that I would want to keep coming as many times as I can. It has made such a difference in my life getting to know others who really “get it” and sharing our stories – as well as some great experiences!

Thank you for giving me the weekend I needed. I learned so much! I don’t feel alone anymore. I left with a new perspective on living with CRPS and I am now an advocate for myself as well as others with CRPS. And I have new friends!

Words can’t express how grateful I am to those who have helped make these weekends happen. They are a direct way to impact many lives for the better.

YAWR helped me make amazing memories to take back some of those youth years stolen.

With an invisible yet life altering condition, YAWR helped me learn to advocate for myself, find the treatments I need, and advocate for others who don’t know of this condition and might have it or know someone who does.

I didn’t realize how alone I felt until I met these people who made me feel together [as we’re] fighting for our best lives. I am so thankful this retreat was possible.

I’m a young, working professional and graduate student who has been living with the CRPS diagnosis for over 13 years and I have never been to a retreat like this one. I finally met other young adults who live every day with similar hurdles.

I’ve had CRPS since 2002 and I’ve only met one person until now. This weekend will forever be one of the best I’ve had. Not only have I got to hear some amazing stories, I now have twelve new friends who are my heroes. We all are unique in our own way but we also can relate. We are all fighters!

I can’t even put into words how amazing this weekend has been getting to hang out with people my age who suffer with CRPS. The kindness, the selflessness, the strength and the bravery.
