Managing the impact of cancer on families: Guidance on supporting families and children coping with a terminal cancer diagnosis of a loved one
Led by Sarah Illiatovitch-Goldman
Trauma Informed Trainer & Practitioner, Artist, Activist, Educator, Children's Grief Specialist
Sarah combines her lived experience of losing her brother to pancreatic cancer with her professional experience as a grief specialist to help families navigate the complex emotional and mental challenges of grief and dying. During Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, Sarah will lead this session designed to help families cope with a terminal cancer diagnosis of a loved one, including how to talk to children about death, the difference between trauma and grief and constructive ways to respond to change and loss as a family.
This presentation is in collaboration with Pancreatic Cancer Canada, to recognize Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month.
