Talking with Kids about their Medical Conditions

This session was held on April 28, 2023.

You may wonder when and how to talk with your child about what has happened to them medically. They may be coming to you with questions you don't know how to answer. Perhaps, you've learned how to have these conversations in an effective way that you'd like to share with others. Learn from parents and clinicians about how to get comfortable having these conversations with your child or children, even when you may not have all the answers.


The session concludes with a discussion based on audience questions.
