Living with secondary breast cancer brings unique challenges, and you do not have to navigate them alone. Funded by the National Lottery, this specialised pilot project offers a safe, warm, and supportive space tailored for 28 families living in Scotland. The service is completely free and specifically designed to support partners as well as children and young people up to the age of 21. 

Through this programme, your family can access up to six fully funded, gentle sessions of either traditional counselling or Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) tapping. These simple, proven therapeutic techniques are designed to help calm the nervous system, reduce everyday anxiety, and provide a quiet space to process big emotions together.

To support you between these sessions, we will mail a comforting physical care package directly to your home. This toolkit includes:

  • Sensory grounding stickers to help both children and adults find a sense of calm during overwhelming moments.

  • My Cancer Journal to provide a private, gentle space for personal reflection.

  • The Death Book to help guide honest, tender family conversations at your own comfortable pace.
