Family Connections

A resource for parents with cancer and their families

Logo for Family Connections program

Welcome to the Family Connections Web site, created through the Family Connections Program at Dana-Farber. Family Connections is dedicated to supporting adult cancer patients who are parents and their children. This Web site is a part of our mission to offer guidance, information, and resources to those who are dealing with cancer in their family.

We also hope to identify and respond to the needs of parents and children by supporting, supplementing, and empowering family coping.

The site was made possible in part by a generous gift in memory of Deborah Rosoff, a Dana-Farber patient, by her family and friends.

We are interested in your feedback about this site. To contact the Family Connections Program at Dana-Farber, please e-mail family_connections@dfci.harvard.edu.
