In recognition of Juneteenth, Pickles Group is collaborating with a number of national leaders and organizations to bring you a free live webinar and parent panel focused on the unique experiences of Black families parenting with cancer. The full collaborator list will be released closer to the event.
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 learn how to talk to kids about cancer, and hear from a panel of Black families sharing their lived experience navigating parenting with cancer. You'll also receive a free digital copy of our Pickles Family Cancer Support Kit, and a recording of the webinar to watch on your own time.
Please note that all event times are in Central Time.
