Cancer affects a whole family, not just the person who is ill. Many parents dealing with a cancer diagnosis acknowledge they do not know how to talk to their children about cancer. This breakdown in communication not only heightens the stress and fears of the children, it isolates them and prevents them from being an active member of the family. Participation in the CLIMB programme helps to support communication of these complex feelings, increases the children’s knowledge about cancer, and improves communication between parents and children.

A programme for children aged 5–12 who are experiencing the impact of a parent, significant other adult, brother or sister’s cancer diagnosis is being offered by Tuam Care Care Centre. CLIMB stands for - Children’s Lives Include Moments of Bravery.
