You are not alone.
Connect with others like you.

Peer mentors draw on their own experiences of receiving a cancer diagnosis to support you on your journey. They offer emotional and practical support to help you feel less isolated and lonely, overcome obstacles in your life and build a better future for yourself.

What to expect from one to one support

• Speak to someone who understands the impact of receiving a cancer diagnosis
• Non-judgemental, emotional support
• Confidential platform – no need to share personal contact details

What the service cannot provide

• Mentors with the same diagnosis and treatment plan
• Counselling support
• Medical advice

What else?

You’re the expert on your own wellbeing, and you know what’s important to you. We will listen and work with you as an equal. You both have unique experiences, and will learn from each other on your journey together. Your peer mentor will help you think about other support networks or activities you can include to enhance your well-being. When you’re ready, your mentor can support you with changes you want to make to your life and help you plan to make them happen.
