This study, called GOLD, is looking at a brief program designed to help caregivers of children (ages 0-17) who have recently been diagnosed with cancer. The program, called the GOLD Program, is a 2-hour session that aims to reduce anxiety and promote resilience in parents. Researchers want to see if this program, offered virtually, is practical and helpful for caregivers. They will compare it to standard care, which involves receiving information about the diagnosis from hospital staff. The main goal is to see how many caregivers sign up for the GOLD program within one month. You may be able to join if your child (ages 0-17) was diagnosed with cancer within the last 12 months, you speak English, and you are at least 18 years old. Your child will also need to agree to participate.
