What is CarerWell?
The CarerWell project, website, and web-based program has been created by mental health professionals and researchers from the University of Newcastle and the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI), with the support of an Innovation Grant from the Mark Hughes Foundation (MHF).
When someone you love is diagnosed with brain cancer your world is turned upside down. There’s so much to process and it impacts everyone in your circle.
For those who are caring for a person with brain cancer, there’s an extra level of pressure. Staying strong and supportive for your loved one can take its own toll – and it’s hard to ask for help when you know that they are going through such a tough time. That is why MHF have funded this supportive cancer care project.
The CarerWell research team have spent over a year exploring how families and friends are impacted by a loved one’s brain cancer diagnosis. They also sought input from the project expert advisory group, the Mark Hughes Foundation, health care and medical professionals, and the MHF Brain Cancer Nurse Coordinators.
All of their combined efforts have helped create this CarerWell resource- a website and supportive program specifically designed to help friends and family members of people with brain cancer. This would not have been possible without the support of everyone involved. Thank you so much for contributing your time and energy to this project.
