Our CEO @markguymer discusses his experience shadowing a #Cancer Coach group. He observed the special bonding of individuals who were strangers when the group began. By the end of the programme, they were all firm friends. cancersupportuk.org/cancerco… #WorldMentalHealthDay

Terrific advice from @drkathrynmannix - thank you @Liz_ORiordan for sharing. Listening/knowing the right words to use when having a conversation with a work colleague facing a #Cancer diagnosis are skills covered in our Workplace Cancer Support training cancersupportuk.org/training
This thread by @drkathrynmannix is as brilliant as she is- and completely resonated with me as I grieve for my mum AND I think it would also work for anyone diagnosed with cancer too. All about listening and being there
