Project Title: Cancer Wellness Center Child & Family Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Through guidance, comfort, and community, the Cancer Wellness Center equips people with cancer and their loved ones to cope with the diagnosis that has changed their lives. At the Center, we recognize that when someone has cancer, the entire family is impacted. Our Child & Family Program provides a welcoming place for children and families where they can feel safe and comfortable enough to talk about their fears and to learn coping strategies as they manage their cancer diagnosis. Our Child & Family Program is the only program in the area offering these services completely free of charge for all participants, to eliminate barriers to accessing supportive cancer care. Last year, 230 people (over 869 service hours) participated in our Child & Family program.<\/p>\n
This program includes counseling, support groups, wellness programs, and educational programs, all facilitated by a team of licensed specialists. Clinicians specialize in different developmental stages from young children to adolescents to young adults and also have expertise in psychosocial oncology. Counseling services are age appropriate and designed to help young people process their feelings and develop skills to manage their emotions. Our child life specialist helps to foster resilience in children and normalize challenging situations such as enduring medical testing and treatment. Programs often have a social focus such as Teen Meet Ups, Game Nights, Therapy Dog Days, and the AYAs Take Chicago Annual Event, that allow children and young adults to connect with others sharing similar experiences. <\/p>\n
Each year, we see a higher demand for our services. To maintain our commitment to keeping services free, we rely on philanthropic support from foundations such as yours. We appreciate this opportunity to submit a letter of intent and welcome the chance to apply for a grant from the Hermanowski Family Foundation.\n<\/p>\n
