Children and Families

Support for the whole family.

At the Center, we recognize that cancer impacts the family, including children and teens. The Cancer Wellness Center offers:

  • Parent Consultations
  • Child & Adolescent Therapy
  • Child Life Sessions

Our programs provide children, teens, and families a safe place to process their emotions in a healthy way. These programs serve as a catalyst for children and parents to unite and support each other through challenging times.
