Are you a cancer survivor currently having cancer treatment? Or are you interested in meeting other people with cancer in your local area?
Support groups bring people together through shared experiences. They’re a way of sharing information and hearing from others about similar
experiences.
At Dhelkaya Health, we’ve been told there’s a need for a local Cancer Support Group in our shire. So, to help get started we want to hear from you.
We’ve pulled together some suggestions for what a Cancer Support Group would like to cover, but we need your help to check we’ve got it right. What do you think about these areas of focus? We’d love to know!
- mental health
- pet therapy
- music therapy
- mindfulness & yoga
- cancer survivors
- cancer – early stages
- people with cancer like me
- board and other games
- medication education
- cuppa and chat
- volunteer/buddy
- spiritual care
- bereavement support
- social activities
- challenges (sudoku,crossword)
- education
- coping skills.
