SUMMARY:Orient\, Equip\, and Empower Parents: Using Courageous Parents Network to Support Parents of Children with Serious Medical Illness
DESCRIPTION:Join Blair Young-Whitworth\, Director of Family Education and Engagement at Courageous Parents Network (CPN)\, for a Parent to Parent USA Coffee Talk focused on supporting parents of children with serious medical illness. Drawing from her professional role and lived experience as a parent caregiver\, Blair will introduce two CPN initiatives\, Navigating Medical Complexity and NeuroJourney\, that offer valuable anticipatory guidance to help families understand what they may encounter and feel better prepared for what comes next. \nBlair will highlight family stories\, educational resources\, and practical tools on topics such as receiving a diagnosis and anticipatory grief. Together\, we will explore how Support Parents can use these resources in their roles to open conversations\, acknowledge parents’ experiences\, and connect families with support that reflects their individual needs. \nLearning Objectives: \n1) Describe how Navigating Medical Complexity and NeuroJourney provide anticipatory guidance for parents of children with serious medical illness. \n2) Identify CPN resources on receiving a diagnosis and anticipatory grief that can support conversations with parents. \n3) Explore ways to incorporate CPN’s family stories and educational tools into parent support to help families gain practical insights\, reduce isolation\, and find connection with other caregivers facing similar challenges. \nRegister HERE. \n \nBlair Young-Whitworth
