New Resource for Parents Facing Cancer

The Hope Nook* feature on the website of the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) offers a cozy new blog: Parents Facing Cancer: Resources to support kids and parents as they process and communicate about a parent's cancer diagnosis—together.

I said “cozy” because of its comforting graphics and easy-to-digest foundational information and advice, organized into five sections:

  • How to Tell Your Children You Have Cancer

  • 10 Simple Ways to Support Children Through a Parent’s Cancer Diagnosis

  • What to Expect When a Parent has Breast Cancer: A Guide to Preparing Your Children

  • Small Hands, Big Hearts: Involving Kids in Supporting a Parent With Cancer

  • Recommended Books for Families Facing Cancer

Realistic. Comforting. Inspiring. Not too much. Not too little. Right here: https://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/blog/

For families dealing with cancer, the Hope Nook on the NBCF website may be just what they are looking for.

* kudos to the creative people at NBCF who came up with “Hope Nook.” Like a small recess that offers some security in a large room, this virtual nook offers information and advice to empower parents to guide and support their children in healthy, hopeful ways.
