The upcoming support groups for November from the Leukaemia Foundation are discussing ‘Tricky conversations’.
‘Sharing the news of a blood cancer diagnosis can be challenging and confronting. This initial news will be one of many tricky conversations you and those around you will be faced with after a diagnosis. Despite the challenges, there are ways to manage these conversations. Together, the group will discuss participants’ experiences, share strategies to ease the discomfort and build confidence in having these conversations.
These groups are interactive in nature & your participation is highly valued. We encourage cameras to be turned on for the session to create a warm and safe environment for all participants.
Group sizes are limited so registration is essential.
