Self-help films and audio

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.

If you're struggling with breast cancer and need some extra support, call 0300 012 0112 to speak to a member of the team or book a free one-to-one session. You can also book yourself onto a free online class.
