Support for friends and family
When a friend or family member is diagnosed with cancer, it can be tough for friends and family to support them while managing their own emotions. That’s why Maggie’s is here for everyone facing cancer, including family, friends and carers. Whether it’s through a support group, one of our workshops or courses, or talking to one of our experts, we’re here to develop the tools for people to cope – both emotionally and practically.
