This session explores the many ways a cancer diagnosis and treatment can affect parents, recognising how the emotional, physical, and practical challenges of illness may influence their wellbeing and their role within the family. It also considers the potential impacts on children and young people under 18, acknowledging that reactions can vary widely depending on age, developmental stage, and family circumstances. The session outlines key signs and behaviours to look out for that may indicate a child, young person, or parent is struggling, and provides an overview of helpful resources and support options available to families navigating a cancer diagnosis.
