On August 8th, the Rising India Research Foundation (RIRF) organized a support group for cancer survivors and caregivers in Delhi, in collaboration with YouWeCan.

The session was inaugurated by Dr. Tahreen Syed, an esteemed psycho-oncologist, and Alisha Crasto, a clinical psychologist.

The support group provided a safe and secure environment for survivors to openly share their struggles, fostering a sense of community and understanding. The young caregivers also participated actively, sharing their experiences and the emotional journey of supporting their loved ones through cancer.

In addition to the support group, the RIRF team interacted with fellows from the Brazil, the UK, and the US, who were part of the MSD Richard T. Clark Fellowship for Global Health. This interaction provided a valuable opportunity to exchange knowledge and insights on psycho-oncology counseling, further enriching the expertise of all participants.

This initiative reflects RIRF's ongoing commitment to providing emotional and psychological support to those affected by cancer, helping them navigate their journey with strength and hope.
