Teenagers and Young Adults developments We currently offer support to TYA 18-25 and are reviewing whether to open our services to 15-18. We are exploring how we can work closely with the clinical leads in finding suitable individualised support for patients from this age group An holistic model – means the Whole person, supporting the emotional, spiritual and psychological needs, as well as the physical side. Different to the medical world – which focuses very much on physical treatment of a tumour or cancer. People tell us that they often feel quite out of control, following a cancer diagnosis, and going through all the rigours of treatment etc. The Bristol Approach gives you tools and technique to enable you to manage the challenges that you face

Teenagers and young adults developments We are looking at setting specific peer led services that incorporate an educative, social and support function We have installed a key worker to be the named case manager for this age group.
