Cancer is a disease that causes emotional and psychological distress, not just to the child who must face their diagnosis with a potentially terminal illness, but also to the caregivers of the child who must come to terms with the fact that their hopes, dreams, and aspirations for their child may not come to fruition. ALA takes a holistic health approach to supporting patients and their families in their recovery process. We strongly believe that building caregivers’ emotional and psychological well-being is instrumental to creating a strong support system for children on their way to recovery and remission.
ALA’s Impact
Access Life provides Holistic Well-being programs that facilitate healing during the painful process of treatment and recovery. The programs equip children and their families with healthy and practical ways to deal with stressors in the recovery process. This program support the affected families in some of the following ways:
Educational sessions to assess the child’s educational level and continue it in areas of Math, General Knowledge, Science, etc.
Recreation activities such as arts, crafts, and storytelling to keep the families engaged
Well-being sessions such as yoga, nutrition, and counselling to keep the families healthy
Skill trainings for parents to use as a source of livelihood after returning to their hometowns
