FOCUS AREA

Collaboration to smooth the path for families.

When a family hears the words, “Your child has cancer,” life can feel instantly overwhelming. No family should have to navigate that moment, or the journey that follows, alone.

Supporting families is central to the mission of CAC2. More than two-thirds of member organizations provide direct support for families, and together work to help ease the path forward by:

  • Connecting families to trusted information and support resources through the Hope Portal.
  • Educating families about advances in childhood cancer research and key advocacy issues within the community.
  • Sharing a selection of books written by our members that offer practical guidance and first-hand experiences with childhood cancer.
  • To highlight the problem with bullying in the childhood cancer community and highlight ways to take action against bullying.

The Family Support group is committed to addressing your questions, concerns, or topics pertaining to childhood cancer and family well-being.

CAC2 members with an interest or focus in family support are encouraged to participate in this collaborative work.   For questions or to learn more about how to be involved with the numerous CAC2 family support initiatives, contact the Family Support group at familysupport@CAC2.org.

Sharing best practices and coordinating action helps us better support families and survivors of childhood cancer.
