Orlando Health presents…
What is it?
Kid Support™ is a peer
support group for children who have a parent, grandparent, other family member
or friend with cancer (either in treatment or post-treatment), or for children
who have cancer themselves.
How does it work?
Developed by Dr. Ann
Speltz, educator, breast cancer survivor, parent and author of The Year My
Mother Was Bald (Magination Press, 2003), this 10-week group offers children
ages 5-12 an opportunity to make friends and learn skills to help them when
cancer is in their lives. The program reduces the stress of cancer in the
family by teaching communication and relaxation skills, and age-appropriate
knowledge of basic cancer concepts.
