The Macmillan Psychosocial Team is a partnership between Macmillan (funders) and MindWise (host organisation) to provide support for people affected by cancer who experience mental health issues. The service is available to anyone affected by cancer across Northern Ireland, patients, family members, carers, and others important to the person with a cancer diagnosis.
The team will provide support with mental health and well-being, social and psychological support to individuals, family and/or their supporters. This service will focus on family recovery, (‘family’ will be defined by you to include those who are important to you) to have open and honest therapeutic conversations, using the Family Model, to aid recovery and provide a family support plan.
The service is available Mon-Fri 9.00am – 5.00pm. The team is multi-disciplinary and led by social work and offers:
Initial consultation to discuss your needs.
Direct support for you individually.
Support for you and your family (or those important to you).
Honest, therapeutic conversations to aid recovery and create a family support plan.
Signposting to other services when needed.
Access to Lived Experience Support Groups and Local Peer Support Groups.
Opportunities to join a Regional Lived Experience Group to influence service development.
