Strengthen mental health support
In our State of the System research, 70% of young people with cancer reported not receiving enough support to improve their emotional and mental wellbeing during treatment.
Young people, parents, carers and siblings report lower wellbeing and quality of life compared to the general population, across their cancer journey. This is true even 5-10 years after treatment.
We want to strengthen mental health support to benefit all children and young people with cancer, as well as their families.
