Description
Vineyard Havens gives the gift of an all-expenses paid respite week away on the beautiful island of Martha’s Vineyard so families who are facing cancer are able to rest, reconnect and recharge for the journey ahead. Vineyard Havens serves all ages and stages with half or more of our patients under age 18. Vineyard Havens focuses on families who could not typically afford a vacation.
A cancer diagnosis, along with its vigorous treatment protocols, can be traumatic for both patients and caregivers. The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that as many as 1 in 4 recent cancer patients have PTSD while caregivers can also develop PTSD. According to the ACS, one study found that almost 1 in 5 families with teenage cancer survivors had a parent with PTSD.
