Refer Families and Share Resources
Do your families, patients, and clients have access to Pickles Group? We partner with healthcare providers, clinics, cancer support organizations, schools, faith and community-based organizations so that your families can benefit from our programs and resources. Your referrals help us support more families at a time when they can benefit most. Sign up here to become a referring partner, receive print resources and fliers to help families through and beyond a cancer diagnosis, and to schedule a meeting so our team can best connect your clients with our programs. Why?

  • Our program and resources are designed by therapist and Child Life Specialist from the healthcare system. We use evidence-based behavioral science to support children through their parent’s cancer. When kids benefit, whole families do, too.

  • Social determinants of health matter, and by supporting the whole family through a parent’s cancer, we can improve patient outcomes together. 

  • We make it easy to partner. We know our partners are stretched thin, and we want to make getting support in your families’ hands as easy as possible. We'll bring you resources and flyers on-demand, and follow your lead on your families’ needs.

Volunteer

To meet the demand of our kids and families, we need you to help change the status quo for kids whose parents have cancer! That means we’re actively recruiting graduate students with at least one year of experience working with kids, to become skilled volunteer Youth Program Facilitators. You’ll receive high-quality training and hard-to-find professional development opportunities while making a true impact for kids. This unpaid volunteer opportunity is ideal for those interested in youth-oriented, whole-family mental health and healthcare. We offer half-year and full-year volunteer opportunities to help you meet your professional goals.

Learn more about our 2024-2025 Youth Program Facilitator opportunities and apply here.
