Aims:

To support the psycho-emotional needs of the mandarin-speaking patients and caregivers, we have designed this 3-part series support programme that explores common challenges they face in their cancer journey.

This support group led by our experienced Medical Social Workers, Ms Saryna Ong and Ms Jamie Woon, also offers opportunities for fellow patients and caregivers to share useful tips and to strengthen the individual's resilience and resources.

For each session, we invite a cancer survivor or an experienced caregiver to share his or her own inspiring testimony of courage and hope.

All Mandarin Support Group Programmes are conducted at NCCS Function from 6.30pm to 8.30pm on the following dates:
