Livewire is Starlight's dedicated program for teenagers living with a serious illness, disability or chronic health condition.
We know that social connections are essential to teens' development and to help build their identity and sense of belonging. Livewire aims to do just that.
Livewire is delivered in two ways - in hospital and online.
Through Livewire, young people connect with others who understand what they are going through helping them cope with the stress, anxiety and isolation of hospital and serious illness.
