Parenting Young Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer: Navigating Your Unique Journey

Courageous Parents Network and Coalition against Childhood Cancer's joint webinar. Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) with cancer have gained important recognition in recent years as a group with distinct psychosocial needs. Cancer affects this age group in unique ways during a critical time when they are developing their identities, gaining independence, and reaching major life milestones. As a result, parents and caregivers face their own unique challenges as they support their child while balancing the roles of loving parent and partner in care. This webinar featured pediatric psychologists Dr. Joan Hanania and Dr. Chrissy Salley, along with a panel of experienced parents, who shared thoughtful insights, perspectives, and coping strategies to help families navigate this journey.
