Take Back Control

What is it?
Action Cancer is running a short programme to support children/young people impacted by cancer to deal with the worries and stress that follow a cancer diagnosis.  The programme provides you with tools and techniques that will help you manage your emotions and provide life skills.

After the programme children/young people can attend Action Cancer for further one- to-one complementary therapy or counselling if they wish.

Who can attend?
Any child/young person impacted by cancer either through their own diagnosis or a parents/family member diagnosis.  We can take up to a maximum of 15 children/young people per programme.

Is there a cost?
No it’s free.

Where/when will it be held?
The programme will be held at Bloomfield Collegiate School. Dates and times will be confirmed nearer the time.
