Emotional Programs

Friends of Kids with Cancer provides several different avenues for safely and effectively releasing the emotions and stress built up in our patients, their siblings, and their families. It’s important to have positive options for patients and families to express their thoughts and feelings when words just don’t suffice.

Therapeutic services are offered at no cost to patients or families. These services are also offered to siblings and caregivers of patients.
