The Cancer Guidance Center \u2013 Kapa3<\/strong> <\/a>announces its new collaboration<\/strong> with the non-profit organization \u201cKarkinaki\u201d<\/strong>, aiming to strengthen information, psychosocial support, and awareness around childhood and adolescent cancer, as well as to support families experiencing the disease.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Karkinaki<\/strong> <\/a>is a specialized organization working in the field of childhood and adolescent cancer, focusing on reliable information, empowering parents and caregivers, and fostering a supportive environment around children and teenagers affected by cancer. Through community-based actions and awareness initiatives, it seeks to reduce the sense of isolation that often accompanies diagnosis, while also enhancing understanding, social awareness, and access to available support resources for families.<\/p>\n

Within the framework of this collaboration, the two organizations will develop joint initiatives focused on information and awareness-raising, with an emphasis on actions addressing both families and healthcare and support professionals. The partnership will also include the co-organization of informational events, the exchange of good practices, and the exploration of participation in national and European programs that promote a holistic approach to patient care, with an emphasis on continuity of support across all stages of the disease experience.<\/p>\n

The Cancer Guidance Center \u2013 Kapa3<\/strong> is dedicated to informing, guiding, and empowering people affected by cancer, providing practical support and access to reliable information and services. At the same time, it develops initiatives that strengthen patients\u2019 active participation in managing their health and promotes a more accessible and human-centered model of care.<\/p>\n

In this context, Kapa3 is also involved in European collaborations focusing on the psychosocial dimension of cancer across different stages of life, such as the MELODIC<\/strong> <\/a>project, which addresses the mental health of young adults with lived experience of cancer. This work further enhances the organization\u2019s ability to recognize needs that emerge throughout the cancer journey, from childhood to adulthood.<\/p>\n

This collaboration with Karkinaki reflects the shared vision of both organizations to strengthen a support network that goes beyond medical treatment, extending into families\u2019 daily lives, information access, and psychosocial empowerment, with the aim of providing a more stable and meaningful presence for those who need it most.<\/p>\n
