This webinar is jointly hosted by Courageous Parents Network and the Coalition Against Childhood Cancer.
Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) with cancer have gained important recognition in recent years as a group with distinct psychosocial needs. Cancer affects this age group in unique ways, hitting during a crucial time when they’re figuring out who they are, becoming more independent, and reaching other major life milestones. It makes sense, then, that parents and caregivers of these young people would also face their own unique challenges as they support their child and figure out how to balance being a loving parent with being a partner in their care.
In the event pediatric psychologists, Dr. Joan Hanania and Dr. Chrissy Salley, are joined by a panel of experienced parents who discuss this topic and ways in which parents cope.
