Jan Haworth is a mindfulness teacher who’s been through cancer herself. She already offers MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) to people with cancer, and is now exploring whether there’s value in developing a version that’s more specifically designed to reflect the emotional and psychological needs of people experiencing cancer.
She’s speaking with as many people as possible – including those living with and recovering from cancer, their whānau, and the nurses and specialists who support them – to better understand people’s experiences of emotional and psychological support: what’s currently available, whether it’s meeting the need, and whether there are any gaps or areas where more support might be needed.
Jan would deeply appreciate the opportunity to hear about your experience, as it will help shape whether and how something new might be developed.
