We are inviting you to participate in a study exploring the impact of ‘surviving’ a brain cancer on adolescents and young adults, and how to adjust coping skills to meet their needs. We would like to create a peer-support program to help adolescents and young adults cope with the changes and challenges after brain cancer treatment has finished.
Who can take part?
Open to all Australian residents
Anyone aged 15-40 years old who has experienced brain cancer and finished treatment that was successful in treating, controlling, or removing brain tumour.
Caregivers and health professionals who support and treat adolescents and young adults who have experienced brain cancer.
