Talking to Kids about Cancer

Tuesday, 10/4 @ 11 am PST/ 1pm CT/ 2pm EST

Seeing yourself as a successful parent is hard enough at the best of times, but with cancer it can feel impossible. If you've ever wondered "How am I supposed to talk to them about this?" or "How do I make sure I don't scar them for life?" you are not alone. Join this discussion with other young parents to explore the do's and don'ts for talking to your kids about cancer, strategies for helping them cope, and how to maintain your sense of worth as a successful parent during a time when it's easy to feel otherwise.
