Resilience – Thriving Not Just Surviving

Fostering Resiliency in Families Facing Cancer

Resilience is defined as, “an ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change”.

Learn how to engage your natural strengths, pull together specific resources, and build new skills to create a stronger and more resilient family. Presented by Triage Cancer.

Talking to Kids & Teens About Cancer

If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with cancer, one of your first thoughts may be: How do I tell the children? Children are very sensitive to what is happening around them. They can sense when something is wrong and the adults they love aren’t talking to them about it. Not telling a child what the family is facing leaves them to imagine situations that are often worse than things really are. Not being able to talk about their concerns can leave them feeling isolated, alone, sad or worried. Presented by Triage Cancer.
