CLIMB® – Childrens’ Lives Include Moments of Bravery
Are you worried about what to say to your children about cancer?
Cork ARC offers the CLIMB® Programme for children aged six to eleven years old who are experiencing the impact of a parents’ or significant others’ cancer diagnosis.
The aim of the CLIMB® Programme is to build a child’s strengths and to embrace their abilities to cope with their feelings when cancer happens at home. The title CLIMB® simply stands for: Children’s Lives Include Moments of Bravery.
CLIMB® is based on mental health promotion. Through fun, art, and play children learn about cancer and express their feelings about it.
CLIMB® helps your child:
- To understand a cancer diagnosis by providing information on cancer
- To learn how to express their feelings and emotions, and how to cope with these feelings
- To cope with the changes they are experiencing at home
- To feel the support of a social group with other children and families who are experiencing a similar situation.
