Rachel Smith, NI Family Cancer Care Support

The club welcomed Rachael from NI Family Cancer Care Support.

When an adult in a family has cancer it affects everyone. For children and young people this can be isolating and frightening. It can bring dramatic changes to their lives and can affect their experience of school, relationships and their ongoing development.

When an adult in a family has cancer it affects everyone. For children and young people this can be isolating and frightening. It can bring dramatic changes to their lives and can affect their experience of school, relationships and their ongoing development.

The Cancer Focus NI Family Support  Service helps families cope with the disruption to ordinary family life and minimises the long-term impact on children’s emotional well-being when a mum, dad or close family member has cancer. Our Family Support worker will discuss your individual needs with you and will arrange whatever support is best for your family.

The service offers:
One to one support in your home or at our service centre in Belfast
Phone support when you need advice or someone to talk to
CLIMB (Children’s Lives Include Moments of Bravery) – a six week programme for primary school aged children to help them understand cancer through art, craft and play. It helps them talk about their fears and gives them the chance to meet other children in the same situation. It also gives parents and carers time-out to meet.
Family Bereavement Groups support the whole family after the loss of a loved one. This includes evenings for the whole family, family days out and children-only groups.
Writing for the Future helps you leave a legacy in words or on film by recording your wishes, hopes and dreams for your loved ones.
