"The
CLIMB program has been extremely helpful to me.
It helped me to know what I'm feeling is normal
and that everybody has a different way of dealing
with their grief."
"The group helped
me a lot by helping me understand the cancer
and helping me to understand that everything
is going to be okay."
"This group
helped me understand what cancer is. It also
helped me understand how serious it really is."
"The CLIMB program was
a beneficial addition to our guidance program
this year at Rising Sun Middle School. It gave
our students an opportunity to understand what
cancer truly is and how to handle their emotions
along the journey. Most importantly it brought
students from varying backgrounds together to
help and support each other through a very difficult
time in their lives. I can't thank Mrs. Astarita
enough for all that she has done for our students.
We look forward to using this resource again
in the future." - Ashleigh Seccurro, Rising
Sun Middle School Counselor
