Kids Circle/Teen Circle

This six-week program is for children (between the ages of 5 and 12) and teens (between 13 and 18) who have a parent, grandparent, close relative, or close family friend living with cancer. Children and teens follow a curriculum of activities, discussion, crafts, and other age appropriate activities to support family attachments, diminish false attributions and myths associated with cancer, bolster self-competency, and increase knowledge. Emphasis is also on coping with change, identifying feelings, developing new coping skills, and boosting self-esteem.
