Parenting at a Challenging Time: Help for parents with cancer

Presenter:

This talk will review children and teens understanding of illness from a developmental perspective and address rationale and approaches for talking with kids about a parent’s illness, treatment, and prognosis. The presentation will be based on the Parenting at A Challenging Time program developed in Boston by child development experts with the express goal of improving parent-child communication and promoting resilience when a parent is ill.
