Core Services
Casework & Counselling
We provide individual and family counselling to children with cancer and their families upon their child being diagnosed with cancer. Our professional social workers and counsellors work at enabling the child and family to cope more effectively with the illness and facing the consequent challenges which comes with the child's diagnosis.

Therapeutic Play
Our Therapeutic Play activities provide a nurturing and enjoyable experience for children with cancer. It allows a child with cancer to regain a sense of normalcy and mastery amidst all the other transitions and disruptions happening in his/her life. It also facilitates the development of supportive relationships through which children with cancer and/or their siblings cope better with the illness and to overcome the pain, distress, anxiety and other emotions they experience.

Parent Support Programme
We also facilitate the initiation of support groups among parents who undergo similar experiences so that they can receive and share information with each other and provide mutual support and strength.
