Mayo survivorship workshop for people recovering from cancer

THE Marie Keating Foundation will host a free in person survivorship workshop in Castlebar for people recovering from cancer as part of its Survive and Thrive programme.

The charity’s Survive and Thrive programme, supported by Nicorette, aims to empower cancer survivors nationwide to adapt to a new normal following a cancer diagnosis.

Since 2014, the Foundation runs a number of eight-week Survive and Thrive programmes which provide holistic support to people who have completed their cancer treatment, helping them with the physical aspects of their journey while also addressing emotional and psychological well-being as well as other important factors in making longer term goals and objectives in life after cancer. The programmes are free to attend for survivors of any type of cancer.

The course, which is open to men and women who have survived any type of cancer, will take place each Tuesday evening from September 10 to October 15, from 6.15 to 9 p.m., in the Mayo Cancer Support Centre, Rock Rose House, 32 St. Patrick’s Avenue, Castlebar (F23 P659).

(Optional attendance at the Look Good Feel Better workshop – October 22).

The course is free to attend but places are limited and registration is essential.

To register an interest, people are asked to complete an online form (see below) and if they have any questions, please contact the Marie Keating Foundation on (01) 628 3726.
