About This Resource
Resource Stats
The Dear Jack Foundation gets what it's like to face cancer as a teenager or young adult because they were founded by someone who lived it. They focus specifically on adolescents and young adults dealing with cancer, offering support resources that understand the unique challenges this age group faces.
While many organizations focus on younger children or older adults, Dear Jack fills that crucial gap for teens and young adults who need age-appropriate support during treatment and beyond. They provide resources, programs, and connections that speak directly to this often overlooked population.
If your teenager is going through cancer or you're supporting a young adult survivor, they understand the specific emotional, social, and practical needs that come with facing cancer during these formative years. Their approach recognizes that teens and young adults have different concerns than younger children, from maintaining friendships and dating relationships to educational and career planning during and after treatment.
