1:1 Peer Support for Advanced and Bereaved Pediatric Cancer Parents and Caregivers
Zach’s Bridge helps ease the journey and give the entire family comfort and time to focus on what truly matters, by connecting trained peers with caregivers to guide and provide curated resources, thoughtful conversation and shared experiences.
You are deep into the worst experiences you will ever face. Your child’s prognosis has worsened or they have passed. You may feel alone, scared, confused, angry and many other emotions. Finding a connection, a guide and a peer – someone who has lived this – can help you make each day just a bit easier.
Someone Who Gets It
A Connection to Listen and Share
Your matched peer is there to listen and share their experience and those of others who have walked this journey.
They can direct you to helpful resources that can reduce your stress and the weight of facing advanced cancer or the loss of your child.
How It Works
Connecting with a peer is simple and free. Complete this short form and you’ll hear back from us quickly, usually in a few hours or less, and you will be introduced to your matched peer. You will be able to chat with your mentor as much or as little as you want, however you want – by phone, text, or video chat.
Resources to Help Families Facing Childhood Cancer
Your Zach’s Bridge Peer can help connect you with a range of resources that may be able to assist you in navigating these stages of your journey. We can match you with a range of resources, including financial assistance, bereavement and much much more.
We also realize that some people may not be ready to talk with a Zach’s Bridge Peer, so please check out the Resource Explorer below.
