The World Health Organisation definition of health is ‘a state of physical, emotional and psychological well-being’. We must treat more than just the disease; we must treat the whole human being.

Life Force Foundation’s philosophy is based on:

• Recognition of each individual as a whole human being: physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual.
• The belief that healing takes place on many levels.
• Recognition and acknowledgement of the experience of cancer as trauma, and the need for appropriate and supportive care for patients, families and carers.
• The belief in a balanced approach to health care and the right of the individual to have access to psychosocial support in dealing with illness.
• Recognition of the value of group work as a powerful tool for healing.

In learning how to cope with and transform our feelings of fear, confusion, despair and anger, we have a precious gift – each other.
