Thursday, March 9 via Zoom

11am PT / 12pm MT / 1pm CT / 2pm ET

This presentation will address the emotional and physical impacts of parents who have young adults with cancer. We’ll explore common stressors and concerns including the burnout that arises while caregiving for young adults with cancer. We will identify coping strategies and interventions to help parents navigate through their adult child’s cancer journey, including issues surrounding being a grandparent if the young adult has children.

This presentation is aimed at adult parents of young adults who have cancer but all are welcome to attend. There will be time to ask questions, as well as connect with other parents/grandparents.

This event is presented in partnership with Bright Spot Network and Cancercare.
