25 Years of Solutions
Mental Health
|
|
The demands of cancer and its treatment can lead to powerful emotions, which may result in shortened survival, reduced quality of life, reduced medical adherence, and increased medical service use. Here at Livestrong, we are about the whole person - not just the disease. That's why, we selected Mental Health to be a focus area for our 2022 Solution Grants.

Meet our Mental Health partners:
George Mark Children's House
|
|
|
George Mark's Cancer Care Respite Program received our Solution Grant for their work supporting young cancer patients. When pursuing lengthy, difficult treatments that require constant medical care, children often miss out on playful experiences of childhood. This program offers a medically safe camp-like break for pediatric patients and their caregivers.

|
|
|
"The Livestrong grant will fund the Nurses and Psychosocial Teams critical to delivering this respite. We’re supporting tailored therapies that meet the needs of medically fragile children while providing their families care, as well."

Livestrong is supporting Cancer Support Community Los Angeles by expanding services and technology access in their HEART program (Healing Equitably thru Action Resiliency & Teamwork).
|
|
|
|
|
"Through the Livestrong grant, we will expand psychosocial cancer programming and access for Black/African American, Asian American/AAPI, and Hispanic/Latinx communities in the Los Angeles region."
|
|

This organization is fully aligned with our funding priorities to: Reach the underserved; Serve communities of color; Defeat digital discord; and Give equitable access to solutions. The grant funds the culturally appropriate therapy element of the HEART project, as well as 30 hot spots for the implementation of the digital library.
