FAQs

As an organization, we provide 26 weeks, which is 6 months of therapy. Most trauma takes time to heal, especially with ongoing traumatic stress. Participants have up to 6 months, but if they and their therapist feel ready to graduate from therapy, the remaining sessions get allocated to another participant, and the participant can apply when they need to return to therapy at another time.

The hospital provides therapy for the child who is in treatment only. The parents and the siblings do not have the option to be seen by a therapist through the children’s hospital. Even when they seek therapy in the hospital for the child with cancer, the cost for the therapist charged at the hospital rate + facility charge. A community therapist can be cost efficient and allows for continuity of care after treatment is over.
