NEW RESOURCE! Talk to your Children about Congenital Heart Disease

Congenital Heart Disease is complicated and can be hard to explain to the sibling of a child born with a special heart. The American Heart Association and the Children's Heart Foundation have created an animated video to help parents navigate these difficult conversations with siblings (and other young family members) to help them better understand how they can support a loved one living with congenital heart disease.
