When someone you love is diagnosed with brain cancer your world is turned upside down. There’s so much to process and it impacts everyone in your circle.
For those who are caring for a person with brain cancer, there’s an extra level of pressure. Staying strong and supportive for your loved one can take its own toll – and it’s hard to ask for help when you know that they are going through such a tough time. That is why the Mark Hughes Foundation have funded this supportive cancer care project.
The CarerWell website and program has been created by mental health professionals and researchers from the University of Newcastle and the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI), with the support of an Innovation Grant from the Mark Hughes Foundation.
CarerWell is for anyone supporting and helping someone with brain cancer. It is also for those who are caring for a friend or family member who may not be a close loved one. While various terms are used throughout the website and program, CarerWell recognises that each situation is unique.
The CarerWell app is now available on the Apple and Google Play stores. Click the links below to download.
CarerWell is an online website and program for brain cancer supporters, no matter where they are on their journey. Access it anytime, anywhere in Australia.
Brain cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in children, and adults aged under 40 in Australia, yet alarmingly very little is known about brain cancer, its causes or how it is treated.
That’s why we need your help. Every dollar helps in the fight against brain cancer. Your donation will go towards vital research to improve patient treatments and, hopefully, find a cure one day.
All donations of $2 or more are tax deductible.
