Talking to a neurodivergent child about a parent's cancer diagnosis can bring unique questions and challenges. In this webinar, parent coach and therapist Allie Finkel, LCSW, will share practical, neurodiversity-affirming strategies to help parents communicate with honesty, foster emotional safety, and support their child's nervous system through the many changes that cancer can bring. Parents will leave with concrete tools for navigating difficult conversations, responding to big emotions, and building connection during an uncertain time.
This is for parents with cancer, their loved ones, and cancer care teams that support them.
