Welcome to En Famille

En Famille is a Hope & Cope program of the Jewish General Hospital Segal Cancer Centre.
We are dedicated to offering support and resources for young families living with cancer.

Telling your child that you have cancer may be one of the most difficult conversations that you will have as a parent. We instinctively try to protect our children from problems that will hurt or frighten them.

This website will help you find the best way to tell your child that you have cancer and how to support them through this difficult family experience. En Famille will offer you resources, support and will help you understand how other parents are coping with a cancer diagnosis. We are here for you.

“When Daddy Got Sick” has been written in order to provide parents diagnosed with cancer an
opportunity to tenderly introduce the subject of this illness to their children.
