Cost: Free
Join us for a free live webinar and parent panel focused on the unique experiences of parenting with terminal cancer.
Telling kids about a parent or guardian’s cancer diagnosis can be hard. At the same time, research shows that open, age-appropriate conversations with kids about their parent’s illness helps to decrease their worry, stress, and anxiety and promotes their social-emotional wellbeing. Our Chief Clinical Officer, Kelsey Mora, CCLS, LCPC, is an expert in supporting families through illness.
Register for this webinar to learn how to talk to kids about end of life, and hear from a panel of families sharing their lived experience navigating parenting with terminal cancer. You'll also receive a free digital copy of our Pickles Family Cancer Support Kit, and a recording of the webinar to watch on your own time.
Panel Moderator:
Elissa Kalver
Founder & CEO of WeGotThis.org
At 34, Elissa faced a Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer diagnosis, just before her daughter’s first birthday. Her fighting spirit wouldn’t let her sit back, or simply try to survive. Instead, in her 5th round of chemo, Elissa launched WeGotThis.org – the world’s first nonprofit cancer gift registry. WeGotThis.org provides a free platform for cancer thrivers to comfortably request the items they really need, and gives their loved ones the chance to support them in a meaningful way. Elissa has also just released her debut book “WE GOT THIS: How I Learned to Thrive With Terminal Cancer” and is a professional keynote speaker.
