Play Therapy
Play is a natural way for children to learn from and communicate with adults. Research has shown that play is an essential part of child development. Through play, children can learn creativity, self-control, emotional expression, and social skills.
There are many different treatment modalities for children referred to as play therapy that are utilized by family therapists, social workers, counselors, and other mental health professionals.
All of these methods use play as a way of engaging children in the therapeutic process.
Also, because children learn and process experiences through play, play therapy is used to communicate with children and help them with a variety of issues.
You can view an informational video about play therapy on YouTube for more information.

In the Spring of 2022 our Children’s Cancer Support Center opened it’s doors to address this problem directly by providing special programming that offers cancer support groups, bereavement support groups, educational workshops, health and wellness support, resources and referrals as well as social activities for families. It’s the city’s first cancer support center exclusively for children.
Our programs are designed to empower parents by providing them with the tools necessary to improve their social connections, give them sense of control and provide a holistic approach to help them navigate their child’s cancer diagnosis. We believe that this will improve the lives and the health and wellness of both the body and mind.
We know that it takes a community to overcome the challenges that come with a childhood cancer diagnosis. For families that are feeling alone or isolated due to their child’s diagnosis, we believe that they will find the support they need when they come to the Children’s Cancer Support Center.
The Children’s Cancer Support Center provides resources and support for families that have a child diagnosed with cancer by taking a holistic approach to help in all areas including mental and social factors affecting the entire family.
Programs offered at the center include the following:

Couples Therapy:
Whether you are married, dating, or living together, you and your partner can benefit from couples therapy. Couples therapy uses psychotherapeutic techniques to address a couple’s dynamic in both individual and couple sessions.
Any couple can benefit from couples therapy. It is a common misconception to think that only couples on the edge of a breakup need this form of therapy. Many perfectly healthy couples attend couples therapy so that they can proactively work on maintaining balance and happiness in their relationship.
Family Counseling:
When a family wants to work on improving communication and the ties that bind them together, they often turn to family counseling. Family counseling never focuses one one person, but rather the group dynamic as a whole. Patients can participate in group family sessions as well as in individual sessions that address the family dynamic. Family counseling is typically strengths-based, meaning it focuses on the assets of each family member rather than their deficits.
Family counseling treats a number of things, including:
- Mental health disorders or addiction in a family
- Traumas such as death or chronic illness
- Divorce
- Incarceration
- Conflict
- Developmental delays
- Blended families

Communities In Schools programs surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life. Our evidence-based approach, adapted to meet each community’s unique needs, is the basis for our success.
Basic Needs: A student cannot focus in the classroom if he or she is hungry, cold or tired, or cannot see the board. Site coordinators see to it that students' basic needs are met each day.
Enrichment: Our Site coordinators enroll students in a wide variety of after-school and summer programs, field trips and youth conferences to help them gain experience that is essential to meeting college and career goals.
Academic Assistance: Our site coordinators work hard to ensure that students have the resources to progress academically. From providing students with tutors to finding and creating quiet spaces where students can study, we do whatever it takes to create an optimal learning environment for our students.
Life Skills: Through one-on-one workshops, team building, and guest speakers, we work with students to develop social-emotional learning, character education, social skills building, and conflict resolution.
Behavioral Interventions: Many of our students face and overcome difficult obstacles in their lives. However, their survival skills aren’t always effective in the classroom or in the workplace. Our program teaches students positive ways to cope with anger, conflict resolution, and other strategies to keep them focused on school.
Family Engagement: Site coordinators connect families with counselors and social workers to make sure that home is a healthy, nurturing environment where a student can feel safe.
