Support and education for families navigating a cancer diagnosis
About the Program
Talking about cancer can be difficult. Brave Kids, Strong Families is a free program from Kettering Health Cancer Care that helps families with children ages 5-15 cope with a loved one’s diagnosis. Guided by trained experts, families use conversation and creative projects to express feelings and build confidence to continue these discussions at home.
