Helping Children Cope with a Loved One’s Cancer is a free, two-hour, single-session communication enhancement program for children ages 4-10 and their families. The objective is to provide a safe setting for children to express their feelings and worries around a loved one’s cancer. The program targets young children with a story and art experience that feels comfortable to them, and inspires their imagination through their art work— and the symbols they use to convey what they may not have the words to say.
