Parenting through Cancer

3 月 8, 2025
While a cancer diagnosis may stop some people in their tracks, parents often feel like they have too much to juggle to slow down. They are parents first, and often worry more about their children than themselves – what do their kids know about cancer treatment, how are they coping, and how are they managing their feelings?

Join Bright Spot Network’s director of programs, Carissa Hodgson, as she explores the key components of what kids and teens need when a parent has cancer. She will help patients and caregivers learn how to talk with children of all ages, develop effective coping techniques to help them process their feelings, and share valuable resources to help them feel supported.
