Kid Support™ is a series of ten weekly peer support groups (divided by age) for children ages 4-12 who have a parent, grandparent, or other family member or friend living with cancer. A one-time Parent/Guardian Orientation is required for parents prior to the start of the series. What is Kids Bereavement? Kids Bereavement is a series of ten weekly peer support groups (divided by age) for children ages 4-12 who have experienced the cancer-related death of a parent, grandparent, or other family member or friend. A one-time Parent/Guardian Orientation is required for parents prior to the start of the series. GCC @ SCHOOL What is Parenting through Cancer? offers support for students and educators touched by cancer. This networking group is held in conjunction with Kid Support and Kids Bereavement. This group is designed to help parents who have cancer themselves, have a partner or child living with cancer or are parenting through the death of a loved one. How do they work? Each group is led by a licensed facilitator experienced in working with children, parents and families affected by cancer. Kid Support and Kids Bereavement include age-appropriate activities and provide a safe space for youth to have conversations about their own or a loved one’s experience while they develop coping skills in the areas of communication, relaxation and feelings identification. The sessions build on the activities of the prior week. The Kid Support and Kids Bereavement curriculum assists children with cancer in the family to express and cope with the varying emotions they experience such as fear, isolation and loss of control. RSVP is Required Kid Support and Kids Bereavement are held on ten (10) consecutive Saturdays. Contact Noogieland Coordinator, Liz Sullivan, LCSW to register for a group at 312-464-9900 x132 or lizsullivan@gildasclubchicago.org. CANCER SUPPORT FOR THE CLASSROOM Our goal is to foster peer support through understanding of a cancer diagnosis and its impact on the classroom. Classrooms will participate in activities that give students the ability to express their feelings about cancer. Discussions focus on daily issues faced by students who have a loved one with cancer or who are living with a cancer diagnosis themselves. Students work together to identify ways to help. For those diagnosed, our program provides guidance for a smooth transition from treatment back to the classroom — and can serve as an outlet for expressing feelings through conversation and art. For more information please contact Noogieland Coordinator, Liz Sullivan, LCSW at 312-464-9900 x132 or lizsullivan@gildasclubchicago.org For each child attending Kid Support, Kids Bereavement, Teen Activities or Family Arts & Crafts, a parent or guardian will be required to complete registration paperwork. 3 1 2 - 4 6 4 -9 9 0 0 • g i l d a s c l u b c h i c a g o . o r g 2 NOOGIELAND Family Day: Brunch & Summer Crafts Saturday, July 9 | 11:30am – 12:30pm RSVP Required Enjoy yummy treats while making crafts together!

Night of a Thousand Noogies Saturday, October 15, 2016 - $75 General; $125 VIP 7 p.m.; Park West – 322 West Armitage Avenue, Chicago, IL Faz first heard about Gilda’s Club Chicago five years ago while receiving treatment at University of Chicago Medicine. Last year, Faz decided that he wanted to spend time volunteering somewhere and first thought of GCC. “I wanted to connect with people who have gone through what I have. There’s a sense of community.” Faz enjoys volunteering during lectures because he’s interested in the topics. “I can be helpful while also learning something,” he says. Faz has also attended many outreach events for GCC. He was nervous before his first outreach event, but found out it was very fulfilling. His advice to future volunteers, “Try everything once.
