Support Groups

Cancer center-based, support group-programs for the children whose parents have cancer:

For your use, we've compiled a list of cancer treatment sites that provide ongoing, professional support groups for the children whose parents have cancer. These are cancer centers with which we have had personal contact. The omission of other credible support programs is simply because they have not come to our attention. If you know of other such programs, please let us know about them. 

Note: An asterisk (*) indicates a cancer center that provides the CLIMB® children’s  group-support program.
