Wonders & Worries

Professional support for children throughout a parent's illness.

Central Texas Services in San Antonio:

First Meeting:
Before a child or teen starts with Wonders & Worries, parents and caregivers are asked to meet the staff who will be working with their family. This builds the foundation for staff and parents to support a child or teen, together.

The parent intake meeting can occur at a Wonders & Worries office, virtually via a video connection, in a treatment facility or hospital, or over the phone. It takes about one hour.

Individual Sessions:
We work with each family to determine if the child or teen would thrive best in individual sessions or group sessions. For example, siblings may meet together or have separate support plans.

Using the exclusive Wonders & Worries Illness Education and Coping Curriculum, the sessions are customizable. The individual sessions are free of charge and available for ages 2-18.

Group Sessions:
Group sessions are also free of charge and are designed for children age 5-18 years, with groups aligned by age.

Group support gives children and teens the opportunity to bond with others who are experiencing similar situations and provide an outlet for learning and sharing.

New Wonderers Six-Session Groups:
New Wonderers groups are designed for children and teens who are new to Wonders & Worries.

These groups are separated by age, with elementary school-aged children meeting together and middle school-aged children meeting together. Based on the curriculum, the six-session groups are customized to the needs of the children and teens.

No Worries Monthly Check-in Groups:
No Worries monthly check-in groups are offered for children and teens who already completed the Wonders & Worries initial six-session support. These monthly groups allow children and teens to check-in as needed, and are available for:

Elementary school-aged children who have a parent with an ongoing illness
Middle-school or high-school tweens/teens who have a parent with an ongoing illness or have experienced the loss of a parent
