Mind Over Cancer
Telephone: 07485767281
Mind Over Cancer is a charity that supports the mental health and wellbeing of the whole family living with a cancer diagnosis between the ages of 0–29 years, with services that they can access at any time of life. Why? Because a cancer diagnosis doesn’t disappear when treatment stops.
When a child, teenager or young adult is diagnosed with cancer it affects the whole family. There isn’t a guidebook on how to get through it and everyone will cope with it in their own way.
Mind Over Cancer offers two services, the first being the funding of up to 10 counselling sessions, matching each client to the most appropriate counsellor for their needs. We aim to have them in their first counselling session in 2-3 weeks of receiving their referral.
The second service is an on-line support programme for people to meet others with a shared experience, groups include young people with the cancer diagnosis, siblings, parents, and friends.
A cancer diagnosis can bring different thoughts and feelings at different stages of a person’s life both during and after treatment. This is normal and for families who are living with the diagnosis it is just as important for them to look after their mental health as it is their physical health.
Talking about these thoughts and feelings when a person is ready to is very important …for many this could be years after treatment ends.
Help us to make cancer and mental health an everyday conversation.
