Emotional Support

Ways we support

Our emotional supports help all family members from the moment of diagnosis, through treatment and recovery and into survivorship or bereavement.

Through supports like play therapy, peer support and psychological support, as well as expert-led workshops to help navigate through recovery, we focus on the emotional wellbeing of children and young people with cancer, their parents and siblings.
