We are SO excited to announce that today CanTeen has launched a new service for young people who have a parent with cancer or who have had a parent die from cancer.
This service is a pilot program (thanks to lots of money donated from the nib foundation) and will involve a counselling service in 3 locations - Newcastle, Brisbane and Melbourne - for young people aged 12-24 whose Mum or Dad has cancer or whose Mum or Dad has died from cancer.
You dont have to be a CanTeen Member to access this service - it is open to anyone.
Counsellors will be in place in the 3 locations from October.
The program also involves sending out the amazing Now What books
- Now What..? Dealing with your parents cancer
- Now What..? Living with the death of your parent or brother or sister
You can order these right here on Now What at www.nowwhat.org.au/resource-order
If you want to find out more about the program or if you want to be put on a list to be reminded in October about the counselling service (when it starts up) - you can email us at nowwhat@canteen.org.au

At the moment we are only able to offer face to face counselling in those areas, however we will online and telephone counselling available across australia so you can use that. We will provide more details soon when it is up and running - so stay tuned!
