The program aims to:

·      Provide the knowledge, skills and confidence to cope with many of life’s challenges, frustrations, fears and isolation.

·      Teach you how to become more relaxed, improve your confidence in setting positive goals, learn stress and fatigue management skills and explore any worries you experience when dealing with cancer.

·      Build skills to help deal with anger, depression and uncertainty and to live positively with fears for the future and build character strengths.
