Overview

Everyone responds differently to a life changing diagnosis and every situation is unique. Many diagnoses and events seem to come out of nowhere, leaving us, and our loved ones reeling.

While there is no way to prepare for a life changing diagnosis or event, and often little we can do to mitigate the initial shock, there are things we can do to support ourselves, and our immediate circle.

In this short introductory webinar will support delegates in their understanding of:

  • What’s normal anyway?
  • How we, and the people in our lives, react to life changing news and events.
  • Practical tools to help navigate challenges.
  • What support is available and what are your next steps?
