We understand the mental and emotional toll that comes with fighting cancer at a young age. Our retreat helps young survivors process what they’ve been through, addressing the trauma, emotions, and challenges they may still face. By doing so, we help them move forward and embrace the life-giving mission they’ve been called to, with strength and purpose.
The world around us is constantly changing—for better or for worse—and it can feel overwhelming to navigate everything happening. Even though society has made progress in discussing mental health, it’s still hard to know where to start when it comes to taking care of your own well-being.
Leia’s Kids acts as a bridge for the adolescent and young adult (AYA) community, helping you take the next steps toward healing, growth, and a thriving future.
“I am a four-time cancer survivor and this retreat could not have come at a better time. The experience to connect with girls my age with similar medical struggles was more healing than I could have ever imagined or than any medication could be.”
– Past Attendee
“I had an amazing time connecting with other girls who have been through such similar experiences. Being able to make life long friendships with other cancer fighters and survivors was truly amazing. It helped me so much.”
