One family. One ripple at a time. 

Ripple@VIVA is a community-based heartwork psycho-oncology support programme delivered by Pinewood Centre for Children & Families, in collaboration with VIVA Foundation for Children with Cancer.  

​

​​We offer no-cost counselling and emotional support for VIVA Foundation's beneficiaries of children, teens, and families, who are navigating the changes and uncertainty that come with childhood cancer, treatment, and recovery. 

​

Our hope is simply to be there for the family, to offer space and therapeutic support through every step of their journey.

​

Who we are​

  • A collective of psychotherapists, counsellors, therapists & trainee counsellors (Master's students).

  • A dedicated SAC-registered clinical supervisor provides close support to every trainee.

  • Every counselling case under Ripple@VIVA is supported by an assigned SAC-registered Clinical Supervisor, ensuring families receive professional, compassionate, and ethically guided care.
