Talking about ALS in the family: supporting children and adolescents | ALS Quebec

This panel and discussion is facilitated by Justine Hugh, social worker and clinical director at Deuil-Jeunesse, and Isabelle Lessard, former caregiver.

Justine provides concrete guidance and practical tools for discussing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) based on children’s ages, answering difficult questions, and supporting their emotions. Isabelle will share her family’s journey with the disease — from the announcement of the diagnosis to the passing of her husband, and beyond.
