Embrace: A Retreat for Mothers of Children & Adults with CF

VIRTUAL: Saturday, September 19, 2026

9:00 am to 1:00 pm PT

Through art workshops, yoga, journaling, CF resources, and respite time, CFRI’s Embrace Mothers Retreat offers an opportunity for women who share the CF path to connect and rejuvenate.

CFRI hosts this annual retreat for mothers of children and adults diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, in recognition of the vital role that mothers have in the care of their loved ones. Studies show that mothers of children with cystic fibrosis have extremely high rates of anxiety and depression, and that this may have a direct impact on their children’s adherence to their medical regimen.

“This retreat was life changing! It is so wonderful to be with other women who understand the challenges we face raising our children with CF.” – Mother of an adult daughter with CF
