Welcome to CAN-EMPOWER
Watch Lynn Calman’s (the project lead) welcome to CAN-EMPOWER in the video above.
CAN-EMPOWER has been developed with people who have experience of cancer - patients, people who have had cancer in the past, friends, family and health professionals. The site shares:
- experiences of the psychological and emotional challenges of living with cancer.
- coping tools and techniques that people have found helpful.
CAN-EMPOWER is divided into three sections:
- Emotional responses to cancer describes the psychological and emotional challenges many people with lived experience of cancer have.
- General coping techniques provides information and activities related to general concerns, such as the importance of a healthier lifestyle.
- Targeted coping techniques provides information and activities related to specific areas of interest, such as managing challenging thoughts.
