A program for children, teens and families impacted by a cancer diagnosis
What is Kid Support™?
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.

Is every movement an unwanted reminder of your battle with breast cancer? Limited range
of neck and shoulder motion, chest pain and burning sensations with arm movements can be
common after surgery and some cancer treatments. We are now better able to determine
who will benefit from seeing a physical therapist after surgery with interventions including
instrumented soft tissue mobilization, nerve mobilization and breathing retraining techniques to address limitations
and return you to full, pain-free movement. Whether your cancer treatment was months or years ago, this lecture
will provide information on:
• How to prevent loss of shoulder mobility
• Techniques and strategies to improve range of motion
• Treatment options for improving scar tissue mobility

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.
Find your sweet spot!”
