As this is a peer led support group\, the co-facilitators can best support parents who have children from 0-18 years old. \n\n\n\nThis group is not about giving advice (although facilitators will share resources after group and encourage this type of sharing outside of group). Instead it is about sharing our stories (the heart ache that comes from parenting with cancer) without judgment and listening with love. There will also be periodic in-person playdates for parents\, partners and their kids in the DMV. \n\n\n\nWhat Members Are Saying:\n\n\n\n“Crucial resource for parents — an invaluable source of connection.” \n\n\n\n“I’m reaching out today to share with you how helpful yesterday’s program was for me. It was the first time I had joined a support group specifically for parents. That topic alone was worth attending and what really impressed me was the format. I found so much value in the way that we held space for each other\, listened\, and used silence as part of the process. I look forward to attending again. I am so grateful to the Smith Center for providing this resource.” \n\n\n\n“I have been attending this healing circle as much as I can and it has brought me so much comfort and peace– and truly a sense of belonging and healing.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Healing Circle Host \, \n Lauren Sauer\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Healing Circle Host \, \n Tracy Steffek\, MPA\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer URL:https://smithcenter.org/program/parents-with-cancer-a-place-for-healing-2/ CATEGORIES:Cancer Support,Healing Circles ORGANIZER;CN="Inova Life with Cancer":MAILTO:lifewithcancer@inova.org LOCATION:https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89384648753 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
