Coping with Illness of an Adult in the Family - Support Group for Parents of Young Children
Illness impacts the whole family. Parenting through illness is very challenging. Whether dealing with your own illness, your spouse’s, or your parent’s or sibling’s, your attention may be drawn away from your family and your children as you struggle with physical and emotional challenges, treatments, and/or caretaking.
Deciding how to share information about the illness with your children can be confusing, your expectations of them may change to accommodate the shifts in your household, and you may be trying to protect your children from your worry and pain.
This support group is an opportunity for parents living with illness to derive support from each other while sharing practical tools for parenting through the illness experience. Through exploration of the impact of illness on the family we will work towards creating family-based meaning, enhancing family communication, and discovering opportunities to encourage your family’s growth during this time period.
