Support group – self advocacy

June 27, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Leukaemia Foundation online support groups

These free online groups run by the Leukaemia Foundation are a wonderful source of support and sharing of knowledge.

Topics vary each month and the Leukaemia Foundation usually runs groups such as:

  • a general blood cancer group (daytime and evening)
  • a mens’ group

Numbers are limited so it’s important to register early.

The topic for June is Self advocacy

‘Self-advocacy means taking an active role in your health care which requires understanding your own needs and communicating these needs with others.  This can be challenging while living with blood cancer.   In this group, we will discuss the importance of self-advocacy in feeling heard and having your needs met.  The aim of this group is to share personal experience and to provide strategies to enable you to be more confident in being ”your own best advocate.’

Dates are as follows:
