The Kids Aren’t Alright: Supporting children when a parent has cancer
from Sydney Ideas · host Sydney Ideas
Cancer does not occur in a vacuum - it has a major impact on family, friends and colleagues. When a parent has cancer, the whole family experiences cancer. For a parent, there are many questions to answer. How much, and what to tell the children is a frequent concern. Do young children need different information to teenagers? What do we know about how children really feel regarding a cancer experience in the family? Professor Kate White from the University of Sydney Nursing School answers these questions.
