PATIENT SERVICE

Support Groups

Mutual support plays an important role in alleviating stress. This is provided by a support group programme that offers an outlet for patients, parents and siblings to meet regularly, share experiences, express emotions and learn practical coping skills. These groups address a wide range of issues, from helping parents deal with specific types of childhood cancer and supporting the needs of adolescent patients, to a "back-to-school" programme that enlists the participating of patients' schools.
