WeGotThis.org FUND A FAMILY FOR A YEAR OF SESSIONS WITH MASS GENERAL CANCER CENTER’S PACT PROGRAM

Within the daunting landscape of a cancer diagnosis, the Mass General Cancer Center’s Parenting at a Challenging Time (PACT) Program stands as a beacon of unwavering support, providing a lifeline to parents navigating the complexities of their cancer journey while shouldering the responsibilities of parenthood.

The PACT Program was founded in 1997, to address the concerns that parents with cancer have about helping their children cope during the parent’s treatment, and with an understanding that some parents would not survive to see their children become adults. Built on the belief that parents are experts on the strengths and needs of their own children, this service is available at no charge to patients at the MGH Cancer Center. Child psychiatrists or child psychologists meet privately with parents to understand what makes their children and family situations unique and work hand in hand with them to provide guidance. These experienced clinicians can explain what parents might expect from their children, when to feel comfortable that a child is adjusting well, and when more support might be needed.

Through our efforts, WeGotThis.org has proudly made a donation that will sustain a year of monthly hour-long consultations for a parent and co-parent. WeGotThis.org’s support of the PACT Program will foster hope, stability, and guidance in the lives of parents newly diagnosed with cancer. Together WE GOT THIS!
