The Brady Club is an online, secure platform for children ages 4-12 diagnosed with HAE and their siblings. This page is for our youngest members to enjoy fun activities that help them understand, manage, and cope with HAE, while inspiring them and connecting them with their peers.
Brady Club Members are automatically signed up to receive quarterly Activity Books that are mailed directly to them. The Activity Books are filled with fun activities, stories from other members, jokes, and more! Sign your child up today and we will send the most recent Activity Book along with a BONUS collectable sticker.
The US HAEA teamed up with children's author Caryn Sonberg Seiler to develop a three-book series that will help kids learn about Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) in a relatable and interesting way. The books are designed for kids with HAE and their siblings who are starting to learn about dealing with the condition. The books offer quick definitions for tougher words. Parents will enjoy reading this first-of-its-kind storybook series with their kids.

We're excited to introduce a series of fun and interactive HAE activities for your kids to enjoy while also learning about HAE. The activities are divided into three sections:
1) Brady Club Learning
2) Brady Club Vocabulary
3) HAEA Children's Book Series Learning Activities
The programs are designed to help ease the burden on parents when explaining HAE to their young ones.

This group of young HAEA leaders is always ready to offer a friendly smile and support to their peers!

It is important for kids and teenagers with HAE to be able to communicate to others when they feel an attack coming. This does not come naturally to most children and often takes time and practice. This Youth Edition Webinar will focus on providing encouraging tips to kids and teens to feel comfortable being assertive about their needs.

One of the most important ingredients to a successful school year is an effective partnership between the student, parents, and the school. Working with your child's school is critical to ensuring that everyone is on the same page and knows what to do when there are unplanned absences or an HAE attack at school. Our guest speaker, Lisa Layera, is a mother and advocate for her three children who all have HAE. She will be sharing some of the lessons she has learned over the years to foster a meaningful and fruitful partnership with her children's school.
