Online Hangouts

Online Hangouts

Hangouts are safe, virtual spaces where kids and siblings of kids with childhood cancer and blood disorders can connect with other kids and trusted adults.

Why Hangouts

Why Hangouts?

Childhood cancer and blood disorders isolate kids. They might not know anyone else who is going through the same things as them, or they can't take part in in-person activities because of the risk, or they may be unable to leave the hospital.

 

WCK Hangouts provide ongoing connection, friendship, and fun in safe, online spaces. Kids from all over B.C. can meet regularly and hang out with other kids who are "just like them." They can be silly, play games, make each other laugh, and most importantly - they can be kids.
