Young adult cancer survivors face the daunting task of ‘getting back to normal’ while managing a return to school, uni or employment, navigating social isolation and changes in relationships, and worrying about whether their cancer will come back.
Young people aged 12-17 who have completed their active cancer treatment can attend Places You’ll Go as either an overnight program or a weekly online program running over three weeks, allowing all young people from across Australia the chance to access support.
Canteen’s specially tailored Places You’ll Go program brings together cancer survivors from around Australia via therapeutic sessions that give young people the opportunity to learn strategies for coping with common survivorship concerns with people who truly understand their experience.
