Welcome to
Support4Families

Crossroads4Hope’s Support4Families program provides individual, family, and group support for children, teens, and parents/caregivers at any point in their cancer journey. Our family-centered approach to care includes consulting with schools and community professionals to ensure individualized care for each family to best suit 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.
