Support Groups
Connecting with others who understand a family's cancer journey can make all the difference. Our monthly Family Support Group, led by mental health professionals, brings together parents, caregivers, patients, and siblings in a safe, welcoming environment.
Children and adults meet in separate age-appropriate sessions where they can share experiences, learn coping strategies, and find strength in community.
Family Support Group
Throughout the course of these ongoing monthly gatherings, Friends creates a safe and supportive environment for parents, caregivers, patients, and siblings who have experienced a family member in treatment for cancer or blood-related diseases.
Adult and child sessions are facilitated by mental health professionals, addressing the roller coaster of emotions that can arise during and after the child's treatment, as well as providing supportive solutions for coping with cancer in your family.
Grief Support Group
Friends of Kids with Cancer creates a safe and supportive environment for parents, caregivers, and siblings who have experienced the loss of a child due to cancer and blood-related diseases.
Adult and child sessions are facilitated by mental health professionals at the Friends of Kids with Cancer office in this ongoing open group.

Moms' Night Out Support Group 
Moms' Night Out is a social group that offers unstructured support through community. All moms are welcome, regardless of whether the child is in treatment, a survivor, or the mom is bereaved. The destination and activity are always unique and offer our moms a sharing opportunity.
"Moms' Night Out is one of my favorite things that Friends sponsors. Thank you for the conversations and support." —Mom
