This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a brief online support program called GOLD, designed specifically for parents whose children have been recently diagnosed with cancer. The program includes two parts: one focuses on understanding cancer treatment side effects and coping strategies, and the other helps parents recognize and manage stress reactions related to their child's diagnosis. Researchers want to see if this program is helpful, easy to access, and can reduce anxiety and strengthen resilience in families during this difficult time.
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, parents often experience severe anxiety, depression, and stress that can affect their own wellbeing and their ability to support their child's treatment. There is a gap in mental health services available to these families, and this trial aims to develop and test a practical, accessible support program to fill that need.

If you are selected for the program, you will attend a single 2-hour online session where you'll learn about cancer treatment side effects, coping strategies, and how to recognize and manage stress reactions related to your child's diagnosis. You may also be asked to complete surveys or share information about your experiences to help researchers understand whether the program is helpful. The entire study is conducted virtually, so you can participate from home.
