CanCope - an online program to help those with Cancer, cope both emotionally and physically

Woohoo!!  Are you feeling down and depressed with your 'post BC body & mind'?  Would you like to access a Psychologist but not able to?

Monash University is running 2 programs over 12 months - for people with cancer, to help cope both mentally & physically with a cancer diagnosis & treatments.  

This program gives EVERYONE access to quality psychological help.  Tell your friends who have had other cancers too, not only those of us with BC.

There are 2 modules - Mind and Physical - and both are FREE!!  Matter of fact you will even be sent some $$ for taking part!  The CanCope team are a group of researchers ​and mental health professionals with an interest in cancer.

The two CanCope programs

The two programs are CanCope Mind and CanCope Lifestyle. If you take part, you will allocated to one of the two programs (however, by the end, you will gain access to the content from both programs!)

FAQ here:

You can read reviews on the programs here:

Or you can just contact the chief psychologist directly (see email address on the 'flyer' or the 'explanation sheet', Page 1)

I think this will be invaluable for many of our members who normally can't access a psychologist ...... so don't be shy - give it a go!  ANYONE can do the programs, so long as their 'active treatment' has been completed.

Even after this program has finished, chances are they will be replaced by other similar programs.
