Supporting someone through breast cancer can be incredibly challenging, especially when it’s your partner, mother, child, sister, aunt, grandmother, or close friend facing the journey.

It’s important to recognise that caregivers need support too.

Our online Whānau Support Group is a safe, peer-led space for those providing care and support to immediate and extended family/whānau members, and close friends, experiencing breast cancer.

The Group is led by Rebecca Pohe (pictured), a qualified mediator with extensive experience working alongside family/whānau and community groups. Rebecca has lived experience as a caregiver of someone with breast cancer.

Supporters and caregivers can gather over a cuppa, to share, and receive support and acknowledgment in a welcoming, no-judgment environment.
