Скачать или смотреть Panel: Mental Health Impacts of CF Upon the Family

This panel discussion, led by CF social worker Deb Menet, LCSW, features perspectives from a person with CF (Jacob Fraker, MSW), a sibling (Sara Modlin-Tucker, DO), a mother (Hema Patel), and a spouse (Gail Wright, RN), offering insight into the wide-ranging emotional and relational impacts of CF on the family. The panelists share how the emotional toll of CF can strain family dynamics, leading to altered communication and tension between partners, but also how CF can foster resilience, deepen relationships, and shift family priorities. This panel was part of CFRI's 38th National CF Education Conference.
