Young adults with cancer face a unique set of challenges. Diagnosis brings distress and anxiety, impacting relationships and plans at a critical point in their lives. They often must navigate isolation, fertility concerns, and returning to school or work with uncertainty and limited peer support.
To address these specific needs and preferences, Wellspring’s young adult programs aim to foster peer interaction and provide coping skills. This social and practical support helps enhance emotional well-being, reduce isolation, and improve overall quality of life.
