Information Video for New Parents
The following information video has been produced as part of the 'Living with Cystic Fibrosis' series and is intended to provide support to New Parents following the diagnosis of their child with CF. It features parents speaking about how they coped after receiving news of the diagnosis, reflecting back on how far they have come since, and how CF is now just a part of their daily routine. The video also features adults with CF who speak about the advances that have been made since they were diagnosed, and how living with CF has not prevented them from realising their dreams. We hope that it will provide support and comfort to you, if your child has recently been diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis.
