The Brain Cancer Family Support Group (FSG) Program is an initiative of the Australian Brain Cancer Foundation (ABCF) in collaboration with the Brain Tumour Alliance of Australia (BTAA) aimed at alleviating the emotional, mental and social pressures of brain cancer for patients and their families and carers.
This program will provide direct assistance to those facing the challenges of a brain cancer diagnosis, helping to improve their quality of life. It is currently in the development phase. By registering for the program and completing the Patient and Community Feedback Questionnaire, you can help shape the future of this critical initiative and ensure your family is among the first to be notified when the program is launched.
Once operational, the program will provide:
Structured and unstructured access to a counsellor, group sessions and peer support
A safe space for children of brain cancer patients or paediatric patients to talk, interact and have fun
Guest speakers, mental health first aid tips and social connectivity
The ABCF is committed to enhancing its initiatives and providing the brain cancer community with the vital support it needs. We value your input and would like to know the areas where you need the most assistance. Please complete the questionnaire to help us better support you.
