Schools do an excellent job of teaching the fundamentals. But, they do more than that. They also help us to learn how to cope with unexpected life events. When a parent has cancer, teachers and school personnel become essential members of a support network for children dealing with uncertainty, confusion and sadness. The When a Parent Has Cancer: Strengthening the School's Response conference helps educators learn how they can better support families impacted by parental cancer.
