October Discussion Series: Focus on Caregivers

Adapting to a Changing Relationship

Some caregiving challenges are universal, while others are specific to your relationship type. As you settle into the new roles of “patient” and “caregiver,” there are bound to be effects on your core relationship. As a parent to an AYA patient, you have to balance your child’s growing independence with their need for care. As a romantic partner, you have to keep a spark alive while dealing with the gritty realities of treatment. Siblings, friends, and other caregiver relationships all have their own complexities. Join this open conversation to dig into and explore the unique challenges of your caregiver relationship with others that understand.
