Do you have biologic kids?  Are you living with a chronic and serious condition that could impact your children?  Have you ever spoken to them about this?

If you answered YES, to the first two questions, and NO to the last, this series of talks could be for you! With various partners, AnCan will approach different diseases to consider the issues around  an important ocnversation that is rarely discussed.

  • Should you share your disease with your kids – and if so, when?
  • Can it impact their  lives directly?
  • What steps shoud they take?

In this first series AnCn will address:
