Cancer affects everyone in different ways. All our services are available to your family members and loved ones to support them through this difficult time. Our services include programmes for children whose parent or significant carer has a cancer diagnosis.
CLIMB® programme for Children
This is a six-week programme is designed especially for children of primary school-going age (5-11 years) who have a parent or a significant adult who has been diagnosed with cancer.
The sessions are designed to be fun and involve discussion, art and play to assist children to understand and express the feelings they have.
Carers and relatives stress management programme
This is a four-week course for carers and relatives of people diagnosed with cancer.
The topics covered include identifying and managing the stress of dealing with the diagnosis, changing roles within the family, how to ask for support and tips to help put a self-care plan in place.
