Children and Families

Support for the whole family.

At the Center, we recognize that cancer impacts the family, including children and teens. The Cancer Wellness Center offers:

  • Parent Consultations
  • Child & Adolescent Therapy
  • Child Life Sessions

Our programs provide children, teens, and families a safe place to process their emotions in a healthy way. These programs serve as a catalyst for children and parents to unite and support each other through challenging times.

Child Life Practicum at CWC

The Cancer Wellness Center is excited to offer a child life practicum program in a community-based setting! This program provides a valuable pre-internship learning experience for child life students who are working towards an internship and certification in their career path.

Practicum application is currently closed. Please check back in 2026.
