counselling
Everyday someone gets news that will change their life forever. This is true for people who receive a cancer diagnosis.
Often it takes time for this news to actually register. When it does, it brings a whole array of emotions and questions which can be overwhelming. This is a time when you may benefit from speaking with a trained counsellor.
Counselling seeks to respect each person and to help the person to come to terms with the new reality they face.
welfare benefits advice
Financial worries can be a major concern for people affected by cancer.
Cancer Lifeline can link you directly into a Welfare Benefits Advice Service (part of the North Belfast Advice Partnership) to assist you to get the right help and advice on what benefits you may be entitled to. The advisors will help you to complete the necessary forms. Please contact the office if you need advice.
If you wish to avail of the above contact the office on 02890351999 or 07949 109 091
Peer support
People take comfort from talking to someone who has been through a similar experience.
If you have been diagnosed with cancer and would like to talk to one of our committee members who all have experience of a cancer diagnosis, we can arrange for one of them to call you for a chat.
The committee can arrange to meet you somewhere which is convenient for you, in Cancer Lifeline, your home, local coffee shop, or chat to you over the phone.
If you wish to avail of the above contact the office on 02890351999
