The Providence Cancer Center Family Program is designed to help adults and their children of all ages cope with the challenges that arise when a parent has cancer. The Program offers a variety of free services for families, including cancer resource literature, monthly support group meetings, telephone support for parents, counseling for adults, and referrals to child therapists.

Support Group Meetings Offered Monthly
We believe that children who have a family member diagnosed with cancer need a safe environment in which they can express their feelings. Our monthly, age-specific support groups provide children with a place to share their feelings and to get support from others. Parent groups gather at the same time. The support groups are open to all, regardless of where patients are receiving their medical treatment. Credentialed professionals facilitate the groups. Please call 503-215-6014 for more information.
