SUMMARY:Webinar 58 – MH of young people impacted by cancer
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Whether they’re dealing with a close family member’s cancer or their own, our studies show that young people are up to six times more likely to experience high or very high levels of psychological distress than their peers their own age. This webinar will define young people impacted by cancer; their support needs, and present a collaborative approach. Young people experience broad impacts to social and mental wellbeing, and without support, this can lead to difficulties with their education, and employment, along with life-long problematic and unhealthy coping strategies.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Learning objectives:\n\nList the mental health impact of cancer on young people and families.\nOutline support needs of young people including patients, siblings, offspring, and bereaved.\nIdentify online resources that support the mental health and wellbeing of young people impacted by cancer.\nList three benefits of a collaborative approach.\nIdentify referral pathways for further support.\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\nPresenter: Dr Phoebe Holdenson-Kimura\nPhoebe is a GP working in Sydney who is passionate about promoting mental wellbeing and supporting GPs who have a special interest in Mental Health.
