Health courseKoala cafe that is close to the hearts of children who are informed of their parents' cancer

Overview

Koala Cafe is a support program for school-aged (elementary school) children and their parents who are informed that their parents have cancer. The aim is for children to have the correct knowledge of cancer and its treatment so that parents can cope with the changed lives of cancer and control their own emotions.

By sharing that feeling with colleagues who have the same experience, you are expected to be free from the feeling of loneliness. In addition, parents themselves have a common experience of raising children while suffering from cancer. By sharing the experiences and worries with parents, it is expected that the feelings will be stable and the child will be able to live calmly.
