KIDSCOPE

The KidsCope is a voluntary, non-profit organization dedicated to creating and providing educational materials to help children cope with changes in the family when a parent has cancer. Established in 1995, the organization was formed by individuals who discovered the need for educational materials for children during their family’s experience with breast cancer. The goal of KidsCope is to fulfill the need for materials from a child’s perspective that help kids cope with the effects of cancer in the family and changes in everyday life during chemotherapy and beyond. The organization’s belief is that the key to adapting to these lifestyle and personal changes is education. The organization’s materials include brochures, pamphlets and a videotape entitled “My Mom Has Breast Cancer–A Guide For Families”.
