Cancer support for families

A cancer diagnosis is not only devastating for the person with the disease, but it also has a profound impact on their family members.

From initial diagnosis to the arduous phases of the treatment process, the family will often experience emotional distress and anxiety that they will find difficult to cope with while trying “be strong” and put on a brave face.

Similarly with bereavement, the emotional aftershock can be felt throughout the family left behind for many months.

We extend all our therapies to family members and endeavour to encourage them to seek help, even when they think they might not need it.

Family members maintaining positive mental health can make them better able to provide the best support they can to the person in their life that needs it.
