The award-winning Contact magazine is a free quarterly magazine for families of children and young people with cancer.
Launched in 2004, it acts as an essential source of information and reduces the isolation that families with children diagnosed with a rare disease, such as cancer, inevitably face. Each themed issue focuses on one aspect of cancer in children and young people, and contains informative articles by childhood cancer professionals and stories from parents, young people and childhood cancer survivors.
In this issue, we take a closer look at how resilience is tested throughout the cancer journey. We speak to experts who share strategies for managing your well-being and mental health, and hear inspiring words from those who have gone through their own cancer journey.
In this edition of Contact, we highlight organisations providing vital practical and emotional support for siblings. Experts offer strategies and resources to help those whose brothers and sisters have cancer. We also feature personal stories from parents and siblings who share the challenges they had and the support that helped them through.
