Support for Kids & Teens

Children and teenagers with brain tumors have unique needs. This is true for support, as well as for medical treatment. Young people whose parents or siblings are dealing with a brain tumor also need help and guidance. Today there are many resources for children and adolescents whose lives are affected by different diseases, including brain tumors.
