How can we help?
Our group support programs give families all around Australia a chance to connect with people in a similar situation and help parents, carers and children overcome unique challenges specific to childhood cancer.
Types of support groups
Redkite hosts a variety of support groups, from casual catch-ups to educational programs on specific topics. Groups are held online using Microsoft Teams.
Coffee Groups
Regular, casual catch-ups for parents and carers. Drop in, drop out as you wish.
Connect Groups
Groups that connect parents or carers in a similar role or to discuss a specific topic.
Cascade Program
Educational program for parents and carers of children who have finished treatment.
Children’s Groups
Age-specific groups for diagnosed children and their siblings.
It also enabled me to connect back into a community of people who at once identified and empathised with my journey. Every parent had a different perspective on their experiences so I was able to gain strength from a parent whose child was further down the track in their journey, and similarly, I was able to lend support to a parent whose child had been off treatment for less time than Joseph. The impact was very powerful.
