Support forPARENTS AND WHĀNAU
Your whānau doesn’t have to face cancer alone. There’s support for you too because Canteen understands that cancer affects the whole whānau. As part of our mission to provide accessible cancer support for families, Canteen also offers online support services to parents through Parenting Through Cancer - an online community where parents impacted by cancer can get free expert advice, counselling, and the chance to connect with others in similar situations. Brought to you by Canteen Australia and Camp Quality Australia.
Cancer INFORMATION
Cancer is a disease of the body's cells. Normally cells grow and multiply in a controlled way, however, sometimes cells become abnormal and keep growing. Abnormal cells can form a mass called a tumour.
We've put together some easy-read guides on different cancer types that may affect rangatahi or a member of their whānau.
