What can we do as a family? Read.

Reading is a powerful tool for family togetherness and memory making during cancer. We can learn coping strategies, ask questions and talk about emotions through stories.

Sharing stories about families impacted by cancer will help children and teens see themselves and find a place of belonging. 

Well Beings Studio has several resources to get you started: for kids, teens, and adult survivors. We will READ, FEEL, CREATE and HEAL together.
