Kids Together Against Cancer

If you know someone whose family is facing the cancer diagnosis of a parent or caregiver, you know how overwhelming that can be. In addition to important treatment decisions, financial insecurity and fears about the future, there are concerns about how to communicate with children. But now there is help.

KTAC – Kids Together Against Cancer – was developed to assist parents and caregivers provide their children with the coping skills needed for this journey. Developed by a team of oncology social workers under the auspices of St. Vincent’s HealthCare and through the generous support of the Rice Family Foundation, KTAC offers a free five week workshop program with trained professionals for children ages 5 to 17.
To find out more about KTAC, the schedule of the workshops, and how you can register to participate, please click here or call 904-308-KTAC.

Social Media

Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Blogspot. We all know how convenient they are. Social media helps us keep connected to friends and family and quickly share information and photos. But be careful what you post! The universities here in Florida have stated at several meetings that the counselors at Fletcher have gone to that they are using social media to see whether or not they will admit a student to their university.

Please read an article posted on UMass' website titled, "Colleges and Universities using MySpace, Facebook, Blogs and Other Online Tools to Learn More about Applicants" so see exactly how universities are using these online sites as tools.
