About
the Parent/Survivor Support Groups
With approximately 50 parent/survivor support groups
across Canada, Candlelighters Canada is providing an essential lifeline
to parents and survivors in their communities. The parent/survivor
support groups vary in size and in the programs they offer such as
compassionate support, sharing experiences and knowledge, as well as
assisting newly diagnosed families through networking, workshops and
social nights. Each parent support group is a very special resource for
families who have a child who is touched by childhood cancer. Hats off to
the staff and volunteers for their dedication and great work in the
affiliated support groups!
