Cancer affects the entire family, not just the person with the disease. When a parent, sibling, or any loved one faces cancer, it’s not unusual for a child to feel upset, sad, confused, or angry. Kids Circle aims to help them cope with such emotional and social challenges, reassuring them that they are not alone. It is tailored for children aged 5 to 13 whose loved ones are impacted by cancer. In Kids Circle, your child can have fun, share experiences, and learn alongside other children in similar situations. Group activities encompass play, art, discussions, and music. Snacks will be provided for an enjoyable experience. The program is facilitated by mental health professionals who specialize in supporting children and families dealing with cancer. All services provided by CSCVVSB are offered free of charge.
