Wonders & Worries is the only organization of its kind to help children cope when a parent or other loved one has a chronic or life-threatening illness like cancer.

Wonders & Worries can help children & families

Feel less anxious & sad about the changes within the family

Express their feelings and communicate better

Gain an age-appropriate understanding of the illness, its treatments and side effects.

Without support,the impact of a loved-one’s chronic or life-threatening illness on children can be heart-breaking. It can affect their mental health, family functioning, school performance, growth and development, and overall adjustment. Free support provided by W&W can help to reconcile these negative effects, and actually help children gain the resources to grow through crisis.
