Today we will be talking about a community initiative that our nonprofit is working on. Launching a coping toolbox for children, teens, and families who have been impacted by cancer. This initiative was inspired by the resilience and compassion of Brooke Taylor, a cancer survivor and coach, whose personal journey of caregiving and surviving cancer sparked the creation of the Family Cancer Support Toolbox.
