A special session on the family

Exploring how families navigate the experience of a child being diagnosed with and treated for a brain tumour, and how this changes all of the relationships within a family - both immediate and extended family members.  We will explore the idea of resiliency and how families manage this transition over time - through diagnosis, treatment, recover and the years that follow.
