The Children's Treehouse Foundation

Founded in January of 2001 in Denver, Colorado, we are the nation’s only organization providing hospital-based, cancer-focused, psychosocial intervention training and programming dedicated to improving the emotional health of children whose parents have cancer. As such, our nonprofit organization has been granted 501(c) (3) status as a public charity by the Internal Revenue Service.

Our Children

With the help of the group-support program, the family's burden of dealing with cancer, and the inevitable stress, is significantly reduced.

We provide cancer center oncology support professionals the tools they need to conduct ongoing support programs for the children whose parents have cancer.

Our program, CLIMB®, helps to normalize feelings of sadness, anxiety, fear and anger of the children, while stimulating improved communication between the children and the parents.

Our Mission:

To ensure that every child whose parent is diagnosed with cancer is given the early tools and emotional support to cope.

Our Vision:

We envision a world where preventing the inevitable psychosocial impact on children whose parents have cancer is taken as seriously as finding a cure for cancer itself.
