CLiMB (Children's Lives Include Moments of Bravery)

CLiMB ® is a support program for children ages six to 12 whose parents are diagnosed with cancer. Through art projects and discussion, this structured program is helpful in normalizing feelings of sadness, anxiety, fear and anger in the children, while improving positive communication between the children and their parents.  

A parent group also takes place at the same time as CLiMB, where parents learn and share healthy ways to support their children with coping with a cancer diagnosis in the family. Pre-screening and pre-registration are required.
