A new comprehensive support program for young people living with the diagnosis of a parent with cancer, or who are dealing with the loss of a parent to the disease, will be launched in Melbourne on Wednesday 11 May.

A first of its kind in Australia, the CanTeen Offspring Support Program has been developed courtesy of a $1.5 million grant from nib foundation to provide a range of support services for these young people aged 12 to 24 years.
