Support4Families

Helping you and your family through your cancer journey.

Crossroads4Hope’s Support4Families program provides individuals, and families with social and emotional support for children, teens, and parents/caregivers at any point in their cancer journey. Our interdisciplinary team of social workers and child life specialists put into practice a family- centered approach to care that includes consulting with schools and community professionals to ensure every family has individualized care best suited for their needs.               

Who and How We Help 

We support families impacted by a pediatric cancer diagnosis, adult cancer diagnosis, coping with loss due to cancer, and professionals working with children, teens, and families. 

We empower families with communication strategies, share positive coping mechanisms, offer opportunities for creative expression, engage members through social connections, and provide emotional support in individual, family, and group formats.

Taking on Your Cancer Journey. Together.
