Canteen's National Bandanna Day 2011
CanTeen - The Australian Organisation for Young People Living with Cancer - is a national support organisation for 12 - 24 year olds who are living with cancer, and is the only organisation of its kind in Australia. A cancer diagnosis is traumatic at the best of times, but perhaps even more so for a young person. At this stage of their lives they will already be experiencing issues relating to their identity, independence, relationships and career; and whilst cancer is not a death sentence, it can mean the start of a long process of painful treatment and years of uncertainty. The inspiration behind CanTeen is the belief that young people are better able to cope with the uncertainties of a cancer diagnosis through meeting and talking with other young people who have had a similar experience and understand exactly what they are going through. Since it began, CanTeen has had a clear focus on meeting the needs of young people living with cancer, and has always put into practice the idea that Members should be able to participate in the management of the organisation. This commitment ensures that we remain true to our mission and can continually be in touch with the needs of our Members. What we do CanTeen's mission is to support, develop and empower young people living with cancer. We do this by providing an Australia-wide peer support network for 12 to 24 year-olds, who include*: Patients - young people who have been diagnosed with cancer Siblings & Offspring - young people who have an immediate family member (brother, sister, parent or primary carer) who has been diagnosed with cancer; and Bereaved Siblings & Offspring - young people who have had an immediate family member die from cancer. We provide Members with a place where they can simply be young people, away from the day-to-day pressures that come from living with cancer in the hospital or at home. Through a wide range of camps and programs, CanTeen encourages Members to share their experiences, make great friends...and of course, have fun! *Young people who don't quite fit these descriptions might still be able to join - please contact us for more information.
Bad Behaviour – The #1 reason young dogs are destroyed.
It’s a sad truth that here in Sydney, many young dogs are put to sleep because they are viewed a having problem behaviour. For some it’s barking that leads to the eventual trip to the pound. For others it’s chewing the furniture or worse – biting a child.
