Tu Nidito is here to Provide Support and Understanding
When someone is diagnosed with a serious medical condition, the entire family grieves; often for the loss of health, the life they had planned, and all that comes along with an illness. Tu Nidito provides both group and individual support to meet the unique needs of each family member through a serious medical condition diagnosis.
Professional services help to:
- Acquire new healthy coping skills and be better able to face future challenges.
- Be better able to communicate thoughts and feelings as they relate to the diagnosis, treatment, recovery or end of life.
- Solidify a strengthened support system, reducing isolation.
- Be able to find ways to integrate hope and joy into their lives.
- Identify personal growth experienced since the diagnosis.

When a child is diagnosed with a serious medical condition…
Individual Support
Individual Support is offered for children diagnosed with a serious medical condition, ages birth – 18, and their families. Professional support staff assist families to cope with the diagnosis, treatments and changes in family dynamics as a result of the condition. Sessions are provided at Tu Nidito, the hospital, the family's home, or other locations in the community. Specialized curriculum helps each family member integrate coping tools, understand emotions, and foster new ways to communicate.
When an adult is diagnosed with a serious medical condition…
Group Support
Group Support is available for children and teens who have a parent or caregiver in their life who has been diagnosed with a serious medical condition. Groups provide a safe place to process the changes in each family member’s life due to the medical condition using guided discussions and peer-to-peer interaction. While children and teens are receiving support, the diagnosed adult and their partner attend their own support group. This empowers them to share their challenges and learn ways to best support their children.
All services are provided free of charge in both English and Spanish, thanks to the generosity of Tu Nidito’s supporters.
