Healing Through Song—Now From Anywhere

Kids Rock Cancer Telehealth Services

We believe every child battling cancer or another serious illness deserves a voice—no matter where they live or receive care. That’s why Kids Rock Cancer now offers Telehealth Services, bringing our signature music therapy experience directly to families—wherever they are. Through video sessions, children and teens work one-on-one with a board-certified music therapist to write and record original songs that give voice to their feelings, fears, hopes, and dreams. Whether from a hospital bed, home, or treatment center, healing can still happen—and so can joy.

What Families Can Expect:

One-on-one virtual sessions with a certified music therapist

Songwriting and digital recording of a personal, original song

A safe, fun, and creative way to process emotions

Access to services at no cost to families

Available Anywhere

Whether your child is in St. Louis or hundreds of miles away, Kids Rock Cancer comes to you—bringing hope, creativity, and connection straight to your screen.
