The START Center for Cancer Care partnered with Wonders and Worries, a non-profit organization that helps parents with life-threatening illnesses provide support to their children, to open a new office at the START Centers’ San Antonio facility on July 14, 2017.
The Wonders & Worries organization, in conjunction with The Children’s Bereavement Center of South Texas (CBCST), provides professional support for children through a parent’s illness, as well as resources, support and discussion help to parents. Child Life Specialists (CCLS) offer professional support, activities and a safe environment for children to express their feelings. At Wonders & Worries, children will:
Gain age-appropriate understanding of their parent’s illness, treatment and side effects
Experience opportunities to express their feelings related to the changes in their family
Learn resiliency and coping skills that will serve them for a lifetime
