Six Session Program Overview
Our goal is to help children and teens develop a foundation for coping positively with the illness in the family.
We have designed a proprietary 6-session Illness Education and Coping curriculum to help children and teens build and strengthen their positive foundation.
Illness Education and Coping Curriculum
Our 6-session program is designed to be flexible and individualized and is offered through both group and individual sessions. This program, however, is a merely a guide. Our professional staff will modify sessions based on your child’s needs and the specific illness faced in your family.
