In Sickness and In Health: Caregiving for Your Romantic Partner
Time: Thursday, October 21 at 4:00 pm ET
Cancer is a huge strain on a relationship, whether or not you’ve taken any wedding vows. Adding the responsibility of caregiver to a partner role adds a new, potentially complicated dynamic. How do you take care of your own needs and responsibilities when your partner is sick? How do you have difficult conversations about sex and intimacy? This session for partner caregivers of AYA cancer patients will address the unique challenges of caregiving within a romantic relationship and provide strategies and tools for caregivers to best support their partner, their relationship, and themselves.

Let's Learn
Talking to Your Children About Cancer
One of the most challenging aspects of parenting through cancer is how to talk to your kids about it. When do you tell them? How much information should you share? What are you supposed to say? Every child and family is different, so there is no universal script, but this webinar will present strategies to help guide these delicate conversations with your family so that you can communicate effectively with your children about cancer.
