Kids with cancer need a treatment that looks out for all of the areas in their lifes that are being affected during this time, that is why we provide them with individual theraphy so that they have a safe space where they can have their own time to process their emotions and all the changes that their are going through.
Its important to know that the theraphy that we provide is specialized in oncology and paliative care if neccesary, and the knowledge of these lets us work on their neccesities during all the stages of their treatment.
We know that an illness as cancer affects all family members so we also give the space for their sibilings and their parents to have their individual theraphy. We have been able to see that when each family member has their own space, it helps them cope with all the treatment better together.
We would like to mention that the spaces that we work on are on our stablishments and in the hospital where they recive the treatment. Part of the theraphy is to take their minds off of what they are living and give them their own right to feel as the kids that they are.
We have giving 1500 theraphy sessions and up to now we have been able to work with 22 kids with cancer, 19 of their brothers or sisters and 53 of their parents.
Their parents is the biggest number because we know that emotionally they get the biggest impact and during their stay in the hospital they dont have their own psicological process.
