Truce program

Canteen’s Truce program is all about supporting young people aged 14-22 whose parent or caregiver has been diagnosed or relapsed with cancer in the past five years.

It’s a free seven-week program that equips young people with the skills they need to cope through difficult times, helps them communicate better with parents and family, and allows them to focus more on what’s important to them in life.

*Truce will probably not be run during 2022 due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19. You can still connect with young people who get what dealing with cancer is like at some of our other events and programs as well as online through Canteen Connect.
