The donation will enable us to provide group 13 weeks of group sessions for people affected by melanoma and 40 one to one counselling sessions.
Melanoma-Me Foundation facilitate groups, providing holistic therapies through meditation, mindfulness, peer support and various techniques working with trauma. The group reinforces the counselling and therapies that take place within the hub and also is essential to supporting service users in between sessions as it helps to build a supportive network where all members truly understand the impact of the disease and can draw on each other for support and companionship.
Melanoma-Me Foundation is a unique service that provides counselling to help people to come to terms with a melanoma cancer diagnosis. As well as helping people come to terms with a new way of living, our focus is on improving emotional resilience, working through the grief process and ‘holding’ people during traumatic experiences during and following diagnosis.
The donation will help us to reach and support approximately 40 people.
