THEIR GROWN UPS TO TALK
DATE: Tuesday 18 March
TIME: 8.00 – 9.00am
Kathryn will discuss how families try to protect young people from ‘too much information’ about their serious, progressive, or even life-threatening illness. The young person has often guessed and can be frightened by their inability to discuss their fears. She will explore how we can enable young people and their grown-ups to talk about what they are thinking about already, to support more transparent communication.
