Coping with a Childhood Cancer Diagnosis

The first few months after a childhood cancer diagnosis are filled with chaos and uncertainty. These resources address some of the common mental health challenges that families face during this time.

Most people who have not confronted childhood cancer know very little about it. Friends and family often feel disempowered by the gravity of the situation. The Childhood Cancer Family Support Guide can show your loved ones practical ways to make a difference.

If you have mental health concerns for your child, siblings, or yourself, your child's treatment team may be able to share recommendations for mental health professionals who understand your family's unique situation.
