Peer support program for young people after cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies a peer-to-peer support program, where young cancer survivors support others who are newly diagnosed. It may help by improving emotional support and coping while you go through cancer treatment and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have cancer and are between 18 and 39 years old

- Your treatment goal is to cure the cancer (not comfort-focused/palliative care)
- You can speak German well (native or fluent)
- You should not currently have a psychiatric illness that is already diagnosed or be in ongoing psychotherapy, and you should not have suicidal thoughts
