Kids Konnection
Kids Konnection is an educationally-based support program for
children who have a significant adult in their lives who has been
diagnosed with cancer. Studies show that informed children are
generally better equipped to deal with the diagnosis. The purpose
of this support program is to provide a place for children and youth,
ages 7 14, to address what it means that someone close to them
has a serious illness such as cancer. Through activities, craft projects, games and discussion they learn what
cancer is, how it is usually treated, the feelings they are experiencing, and how to cope. These interactive
and informative sessions will enhance their understanding and coping skills.
What: A support program for kids who have a parent, grandparent
or significant adult diagnosed with cancer.
