Benefits of Attending a Weekend Childhood Cancer Survivor Family Retreat
ConclusionsRetreats offer families of cancer survivors opportunities to reconnect with others and their own family members in a therapeutic environment. These reconnections in a therapeutic environment enriched the families’ positive outlooks on life and changed their perspectives.
Clinical RelevanceFamilies of childhood cancer survivors report a lack of support following the completion of therapy. Retreats in a nonclinical therapeutic setting optimize family‐perceived support, relationship building, and reconnecting survivor families.
