Self-help films and audio

We know not everyone will be able to access one of our centres but there other ways we can help you. Our helpful films and audio clips bring the Breast Cancer Haven programme to you wherever you are.

These helpful films give you practical tips on reducing the risk of lymphoedema, healthy eating, looking good, and give advice on welfare and benefits. They will also guide you through ways of dealing with challenging emotions and will help to improve your mental well-being through guided mindfulness practice. 


These resources are free and available to anyone. You can simply stream these files by using the the play button.
