CCF adopts the biopsychosocial-spiritual (BPSS) model of care for our beneficiaries. This holistic approach takes into account the unique biological, psychological, social and spiritual factors that impact each individual’s subjective experiences and clinical outcomes. 

Our social workers conduct specialised assessments using the BPSS model for clients to tailor a suitable psychosocial treatment plan and achieve the best possible outcomes.

CCF Service Model

CCF offers a spectrum of critical services to our beneficiaries through our hospital-community service model. It is aligned to their continuum of needs throughout their childhood cancer journey.

In the Hospitals

From the point of their childhood cancer diagnosis, CCF helps children and their families cope with the hospital experiences that range from difficult treatment procedures and side-effects to long stays and repeated visits. 

Our social workers and child life therapists are sited in KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) and the National University Hospital (NUH) to work in partnership with the medical teams in the paediatric oncology wards. 

Should a child be at the end stage of his/her life, CCF also provides palliative and bereavement support to improve the quality of life of the child and his/her impacted family.

In the Community

With more children surviving childhood cancer, CCF provides continual care to help our survivors reintegrate into their community and lead fulfilling lives. These include supporting younger children in joining or transitioning back to mainstream schools as well as youth survivors with long-term side-effects due to the treatment of cancer. 

We also serve children impacted by immediate family members diagnosed with cancer.
