Noogieland is the playful name for our youth program at Cancer Support Community North Texas. The name is just silly enough to make perfect sense to children. Noogieland is where children and teens who have a loved one with cancer, have cancer themselves, or have experienced a loss due to cancer can gather for support.
Kids who have cancer in their lives often feel alone, confused, and anxious. Research shows that kids who are impacted by cancer feel less isolated and fearful when they meet other children and families with a similar situation.
Noogieland offers many opportunities for kids to meet other kids who have been affected by cancer. Noogieland is filled with stimulating toys and art supplies used by CSCNT staff to customize play and support activities. While children enjoy their time in Noogieland, their parents, family members, and friends can participate in their own clubhouse activities.
Check out our current Noogieland program offerings:
