Parents coping with cancer share a number of concerns about the ways that their children might be affected. While it is almost impossible to completely shield children from the experience, parents can shape the experience. This workshop will offer evidence-based, developmentally appropriate ideas for helping children (0-24 yrs) thrive while living with a parent’s (or another adult caregiver’s) cancer.
Led by Cindy Moore, Ph.D.
