Community Support
Over the years I have seen families struggle with cancer. Be it a mum, dad, or one of the children. The journey is long and seems never ending at times - even coming back for a second round.
One Sunday Canteen came knocking at my door. With a family and child of my own, this seemed like a natural fit for stok.communications to support. ​​

Canteen provides youth, or rangatahi, aged 12 to 24 a safe space to connect and share the tough stuff. They get support, friendship, and get a break from cancer. It's not just for patients and survivors, but for their siblings and children of cancer too who can connect with other families and share their concerns and grief.
​
Canteen supports rangatahi with individual support and cancer counselling, cancer support and community events, therapeutic programmes and camps, and online support. Peer events provide respite to support mental wellbeing and help to reduce isolation by connecting rangatahi with others who are experiencing similar challenges.
