BRAIN TUMOURS & MENTAL HEALTH

Mental Health Challenges

Mental health challenges faced after a brain tumour diagnosis can be overwhelming and unexpected.

Whether due to the tumour location, injury from the tumour or treatments, the changes in a person’s mental health can have a significant impact on their lives.

At Two Steps Forward, we have started a new project based off feedback from patients, families, caregivers and health care teams. Mental health challenges can affect everyone in the brain tumour patient journey.

We have focused on developing and providing educational resources specific to mental health challenges after brain tumour diagnosis and are collaborating with The Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada to establish Peer Support to provide emotional and practical support through these challenges.

Any feedback from our community is always welcomed to ensure these supports and resources remain relevant to those who need them!
