RESOURCE STORE OFFLINE
Unfortunately, due to our webstore host shutting down, we have had
to close our online store temporarily. We do have a new vendor lined up, but with a new
company comes a whole transition of our database/store to their
system. We are planning to
have our store back online by mid-November 2003. Please click back to the site for
regular updates.
YOU CAN STILL MAKE ORDERS VIA OUR 1-800 NUMBER
If you were planning on placing an order, you can still do so by
calling us through the national office at 1-800-363-1062 (ext 18)
or if you are outside of North America, click here
to email your order (or find more information) and we will follow up with
you within 24 hours. In the
interim, please click here
to view the PDF (requires Adobe Acrobat) of our newly printed Online
Cancer Resource Store brochure which showcases some of our top selling
resources as well as a glance at the over 400 resources we offer.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Background
information
In 1995, the
Childhood Cancer Foundation Canada established the first national central
source of information pertinent to children and teens diagnosed with
cancer.
Resources have
been reviewed
Parents and
professionals have carefully reviewed the books included in the 2001
Child and Family Resource Catalogue. We welcome your comments, and as
always, we welcome your suggestions on new books or resources that you
have found that you think will be of help to other families.
How will this help
you?
The material listed
in the catalogue is for the use of children and teens living with cancer,
chronic illness and special needs, as well as their families and the
professionals and volunteers with whom they have contact.
Over 400 items!
The catalogue lists over
400 annotated books, pamphlets and videos addressing the many aspects of
childhood cancer, chronic illness, special needs, and their unique impact
on all family members, teachers and friends.
The catalogue
includes information about childhood cancer, its treatments, symptom
management and late effects, and literature that explores coping with
special needs and chronic illnesses. Resources that address psychological
issues such as handling illnesses and disabilities, school adjustment,
siblings, relationships, bereavement and loss are included.
Every book has
been discounted
To help make these
materials accessible, we have made an effort to discount every item in
the catalogue. And one quarter of these resources are free of charge. We
hope that this makes getting information about your illness, or your
child's illness, much easier.
Library
In addition to the
Resource Centre, the Childhood Cancer Foundation Canada has a library of
more than 2,000 books, current journals and video/audio tapes for use on site
by families and other interested parties. Videotapes are a key component
of the library and audiovisual equipment is also on site. The library,
plus a current journal file, allows the Childhood Cancer Foundation
Canada to meet the ever-increasing number of requests relating to the
many aspects of childhood cancer.
