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.
