Canteen Bandanna Day 2019How does CanTeen help young people living with cancer?

Counselling and Individual Support

CanTeen counsellors are specially trained to understand the challenges cancer brings. Young people can share thoughts or feelings that other people in their lives might not be able to relate to.

Youth Cancer Services

Youth Cancer Services provide specialist, age-appropriate treatment and support for young cancer patients aged 15 – 25. This service is supported by federal funding through CanTeen as well as state and territory government funding,

Health professionals

Health professionals play a vital role in supporting young people living with cancer. CanTeen works with health professionals to provide vital information on how best to support young people facing a cancer journey.
