RECOVERY HAVEN CANCER SUPPORT OPERATES THROUGH LEVEL 5:
As we are in another extended period of lockdown and restrictions, people are understandably incredibly anxious, worried, and finding it more difficult to cope. This is particularly true for the more vulnerable in society – among them, cancer patients, their families, and carers. At Recovery Haven Kerry, we want to reassure you that we are still here for you. While taking every precaution advised, we are here to offer emotional support and practical help to those affected by cancer, their families, or carers. While much of our group and therapy work is currently on hold due to Covid 19, we are still offering phone support, counselling, and a range of online classes (Stretch and balance, pilates, stress management, look good feel better programme, men’s support group and Cancer Thrive and Survive 6 -week self-management programme) throughout Level 5. So, if you or someone you know needs support, email: reception@recoveryhavenkerry.com or phone 066 7192122

For the sake of the great majority trying to keep to the public health guidelines, we ask people, difficult as it is, not to approach the bereaved in the church grounds or cemetery to sympathize.
