Talking with Children When someone has Cancer
Sponsored by Saint Vincent College Chapter of Kappa Delta Pi
Talking to children about cancer is one challenge that a parent, educator, and clinician confront upon receiving news of a diagnosis, regardless of who is diagnosed. This discussion will focus on age appropriate language to use with children and teens to help them understand what it means when cancer is in their life. Additionally, we will cover developmentally appropriate interventions that align with children's developmental progression to help facilitate coping and communication. Highlighted throughout the discussion will be common concerns that children share and how to identify when more help is needed to support a child.
When: Sunday, March 19, 2017 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Where: Saint Vincent College, Fred Rogers Center
Presenter: Abby Ziegler, MS, CCLS, Family and Youth Program Manager
