How to Talk to Kids about Brain Cancer

How to Talk to Kids about Brain Cancer

In honor of Glioblastoma Awareness Day, Pickles Group is collaborating with Gray for Glioblastoma, American Brain Tumor Association, and Northwestern Medicine’s Malnati Brain Tumor Institute to bring you a live and free webinar + parent panel focused on the unique experiences of parenting with brain cancer.

Telling kids about a parent or guardian’s cancer diagnosis can be hard. At the same time, research shows that open, age-appropriate conversations with kids about their parent’s illness helps to decrease their worry, stress, and anxiety and promotes their social-emotional wellbeing. Our Chief Clinical Officer, Kelsey Mora, LCPC, CCLS is an expert in supporting families through illness. Register for this webinar to receive a free digital copy of our Pickles Family Support Kit, to learn how to talk to kids about brain cancer, and hear from a panel of families sharing their lived experience navigating parenting with brain cancer.
