The workshops help participants manage the visible and emotional side effects of cancer treatment. Volunteers demonstrate skincare routines to address dryness and sun sensitivity, offer make-up techniques, and guide participants through replicating eyebrows and eyelashes after hair loss. Advice on headwear including scarf styling and wig selection is also provided.
Each participant receives a Confidence Kit filled with skincare and make-up products donated by the cosmetic industry. These kits allow individuals to practice techniques during the workshop and continue their self-care at home.
Beyond practical support, the workshops foster meaningful connections. Participants often form friendships and support networks that provide comfort and encouragement throughout their treatment journey.
Feel Better Month, running throughout September, invites all Australians to reflect on the importance of self-confidence and a positive mindset in support of those undergoing cancer treatment.
