AYAs with cancer (Adolescents and Young Adults) refer to those who were diagnosed with cancer under the age of 40 and are currently between 15-39.
A cancer diagnosis during adolescence or young adulthood can deeply affect a person’s mental and emotional wellbeing. This webinar explores how cancer impacts mental health at different stages — from diagnosis through treatment and beyond — and offer practical, evidence-informed strategies to support coping and recovery. The session also includes insights and experiences shared directly by young people who have faced cancer themselves.
