Survivors Employment Support
|
 |
The first foray into the working world can be daunting and stressful for most of us. For some CCF survivors, it can be difficult to land employment due to health set-backs after childhood cancer.
With the introduction of Survivors’ Employment Support service in 2022, our beneficiaries could navigate these challenges and enhance their employment opportunities.
Two pilot initiatives under this service are the Heart Work Programme, a customised work skills training foundation programme that aims to impart different skillsets to our survivors and the Pre-Employment Workshop to equip survivors with knowledge that may improve their chances of securing employment. The first edition of pre-employment workshop focuses on how beneficiaries can kick-start their job search.

Join and Make Music (J.A.M.M), a weekly initiative at CCF Hangouts that provides opportunities experiencing the musical space created by the group.
Our youths gain social connection, attunement, alleviation of anxiety and shared experiences via the use of musical therapy techniques such as musical improvisation, song writing, receptive music listening, instrument playing, lyric analysis and musical storytelling. Our youth beneficiaries are able to join in the music sessions during their hospital visits.

Rongying, an aspiring five-year-old ballerina, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoid Leukaemia. She underwent surgery to install a port-a-cath to reduce the need for injections. CCF supported her through therapeutic play sessions involving toys such as a duck with a port-a-cath called “Ducky”. Despite becoming completely bald from chemotherapy, Rongying bravely returned to school and took a photo of herself to be displayed on her EZ link card. Her mother, Xiang Zhen, reassured her that she was okay.
Rongying's cancer journey impacted her family, with Xiang Zhen spending a lot of time at the hospital and her husband unable to work from home. CCF was there to support them, offering books and toys to help Rongying through her treatments. Now seven, Rongying is undergoing maintenance chemotherapy and is excited about the future, wanting to be a ballerina and dance on stage.
