Our colleagues at Live Well Wakefield have a programme starting in October that may be helpful to you or the people you support.

This programme is for those dealing with life after cancer. It's also really valuable for staff, relatives or carers who have been affected by a cancer diagnosis.

A bit about the programme

When: 1:00pm until 3:30pm every Tuesday for 6 weeks from 17 October until 21 November

Where: online using the free Microsoft Teams app

This programme is delivered by people with lived experience of a cancer diagnosis in their lives.

An opportunity for you to learn and share supportive tools and techniques together with others - to help you stay more in control of your health and wellbeing.

Focus of the programme

  • Problem-solving skills
  • Ways to talk to others about cancer
  • Managing bodily changes after treatment
  • Setting realistic goals, to build on recovery
  • Ways to manage living with uncertainty
  • Dealing with difficult emotions about cancer

Participants must be 18+, and live in the Wakefield district, or be registered with a Wakefield GP.
