| Recipient Org: Description | We Hear You (WHY) offers free, professional counselling for anyone affected by cancer or other life-threatening illness in Somerset, Bath & North East Somerset and West Wiltshire. WHY provides the psychological support that is so vital when a diagnosis of cancer turns life upside down. This is the forgotten side of cancer care. Although cancer patients’ medical needs are well met by the health services, their emotional needs are not. WHY offers weekly counselling sessions that provide ongoing support: for adults and children diagnosed with cancer or other life threatening illness; and for their family members. A life-threatening diagnosis affects relationships, financial stability and emotional health. Our aim is to relieve the mental and emotional suffering and to improve mental health and wellbeing. Counselling is held with adults at ten different venues and with children and young people at local schools and at the WHY office in Frome. We also offer online counselling for people who find it difficult to reach one of our venues. WHY works closely with local hospitals, hospices, GPs, other health professionals and with local schools to ensure that the people who would most benefit from the service are aware of it and can access it. |
