Being diagnosed with blood cancer / disorder throws  a young adult’s world into turmoil.  Whether you were diagnosed 1 month, 1 year or many years ago – a diagnosis can have immediate and long-lasting effects.  We understand you may often feel alone & seek connection with others in your age & stage of life ‘who just get it’.

The aim of the group is to share with others experiencing similar challenges and to learn from each other in a safe, non-judgmental, supportive space.

Topics Covered

Each week the group will explore the following topics:

1. Getting to know you: Exploring self-identity
2. Communication & relationships: Talking about blood cancer with others
3. Life transitions after diagnosis: Transitions to work / study / other roles
4. Sensitive conversations:  On sexuality / intimacy / fertility & taboo topics
5. Where to from here: Self–care / long term support
