Family Support Group
Throughout the course of these ongoing monthly gatherings, Friends creates a safe and supportive environment for parents, caregivers, patients, and siblings who have experienced a family member in treatment for cancer or blood-related diseases.
Adult and child sessions are facilitated by mental health professionals, addressing the roller coaster of emotions that can arise during and after the child's treatment, as well as provide supportive solutions for coping with cancer in your family.
