Providing emotional support when it matters
A diagnosis can bring shock, fear and uncertainty. This year so far:
62 people have accessed private counselling through our Counselling Service — 89% of whom have either completed their sessions or are currently receiving counselling.
800 people have attended our support groups, with 60% saying they felt more positive about their diagnosis and more connected to others afterwards.
37 people have been newly matched with a buddy, and our trained buddy network has given 735 hours of one-to-one, peer-to-peer support.
Having a buddy definitely helped me brace for what is coming next. It was important to hear the experience from someone who has gone through a similar circumstance to mine.
