After many conversations with women in our Women’s Migraine Freedom Group, something has come up that we need to chat about - the prevalence of migraines showing up in our kids and young adults. Today, we’re diving into WHY they are facing more migraines and how we can help them tackle this head-on by supporting them, but also supporting their families that are watching them suffer from pain.
