WHYbemindful
An eight-week mindfulness course for people living with and beyond cancer and their carers, family members and friends
Self-Care for Living with Cancer
Cancer affects more than just the body—it challenges your mental and emotional wellbeing too. WHYbemindful offers practical tools to help you manage anxiety, fear of recurrence, and the emotional impact of a diagnosis. It’s not counselling or therapy—it's a skills-based course to support you in living more mindfully, every day.
Led by experienced facilitators, WHYbemindful helps you respond to life’s triggers, build emotional resilience, and regain a sense of control. You’ll learn in a safe group environment, with no pressure to share more than you want to. No advice, no fixing—just shared understanding and support.
Course details
Each course runs for eight weeks and includes guided sessions, group discussion, and daily home practice (around 30 minutes per day). It’s best suited to those who have completed active treatment and feel ready to explore a new way to support their recovery.
