Supporting families battling childhood cancer requires all of us.
EXPRESS, CREATE, HEAL: THE CHILDHOOD CANCER CHAPTER
Academic & Research Partners
At our core, we believe in collaboration. Working with our partners, we aim to connect childhood cancer patients with the mental health and wellness resources they need, bridging the gap to real-world support and healing.
Express, Create, Heal powered by A Moment of Magic aims to do the following:
-
Improve the coping skills that can reduce the risk of mental and behavioral problems for survivors of childhood cancer by utilizing peer-based social learning programs
-
Increase access to mental health resources for children and families, facilitating their ability to seek support and engage in self-care practices.
-
Empower and educate the community to provide stronger support for childhood cancer fighters, survivors, siblings, and caregivers.
By bringing together diverse stakeholders and resources, ECH addresses the multifaceted needs of the childhood cancer community.
Our partners make the following possible:
-
In-person ECH programs for childhood cancer fighters, survivors, and siblings in partnership with hospitals and nonprofit organizations in their community. These programs focus on various topics, including fostering self-expression, bolstering self-esteem, and equipping children with coping strategies unique to the childhood cancer experience.
-
The ECH Resource Hub and Support Sessions offer complimentary virtual access, linking families with crucial mental health and wellness resources, training sessions, and educational materials to bolster the well-being of both their children and themselves.
-
Our ECH Education Courses empower professionals across nonprofit, education, and medical fields, equipping them with the tools to effectively navigate the unique hurdles encountered by families impacted by pediatric cancer (coming Fall 2024).
-
Through community-wide initiatives, we strive to heighten awareness, deepen understanding, and nurture empathy for the challenges faced by families affected by pediatric cancer, fostering a more compassionate and resilient support ecosystem, and approaching healthcare in a more holistic way.
