Moving Forward online course

Our new online course runs over two weeks, with two three-hour sessions. Groups are kept small, with no more than 12-15 people attending, and are facilitated by our expert staff. Our trained volunteers are on hand to welcome you, and share their own experience of a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. Everyone is encouraged to participate in a way that suits them. The course is supported by online resources and our Moving Forward journal.  

Week one: Looking back to move forward. A chance for the group to share common ongoing concerns and discuss the impact of diagnosis and treatment.  

Online content:  

• Activity and energy 
• Mental wellbeing 
• Lymphoedema 
• Menopausal symptoms 
• Recurrence 
• Eating well and breast cancer 
• Adjusting and adapting 

Week two: Setting intentions within a wellbeing framework, we look at the Five Ways to Wellbeing, and what people need to move forward. Supported by a Q&A session with a healthcare professional, and content from your Moving Forward journal.

'The course was fantastic, really informative especially regarding diet, exercise and lymphoedema. The whole course helped me feel more empowered and in control. The body awareness section was extremely helpful.'

'Hearing from others was reassuring that I wasn't alone or the only one who was scared.'

'I think the course would be very helpful for anyone who is anxious and frightened about their life after their breast cancer diagnosis.'
