Find Hope Here – a new course available from Macmillan Joining the Dots

15 February 2024

We can help you take back control

HOPE is a course developed by Macmillan Cancer Support and Coventry University to support you after cancer treatment.  Each course is run by a health and social care professional and a trained volunteer who has a personal experience of cancer.

You can share your experiences and get support from other people going through the same thing.  It helps strengthen your coping skills for dealing with different problems like anxiety, fatigue and concerns for the future.  So you can feel more like yourself again.

HOPE can help you:

  • regain your confidence so you feel more like yourself
  • use relaxation techniques for your mind and body
  • cope with anger, anxiety, depression and uncertainty
  • handle stressful situations
  • plan for your future
  • use your potential to make the most of your life
