Whether you’re newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment or living with
advanced breast cancer, free NZBCF funded counselling is available when
you need someone to talk to. A referral from your Breast Cancer Specialist, or Nurse at a breast cancer clinic, or GP is required.

The NZBCF has partnered with Stratos,
a national counselling service to provide support for people coping
with the emotional challenges which often accompany breast cancer. Counselling
can help you talk through concerns, manage stress and find better ways
to cope and communicate with family and friends. Often it’s helpful to
talk things through with someone not connected to your life.
