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:

  1. Emotional responses to cancer describes the psychological and emotional challenges many people with lived experience of cancer have.
  2. General coping techniques provides information and activities related to general concerns, such as the importance of a healthier lifestyle.
  3. Targeted coping techniques provides information and activities related to specific areas of interest, such as managing challenging thoughts.
