A New Beginning for Survivors and their Families

Many survivors, particularly women in Hong Kong, face barriers to accessing post-cancer therapy, whether due to stigma, time constraints, family commitments or financial concerns. With therapy often prohibitively expensive, THRIVE opens the door to critical support that has previously been unavailable to many survivors in Hong Kong. The program also recognizes the often-overlooked emotional burden carried by partners and caregivers, providing them with access to therapy alongside survivors. THRIVE is not just for survivors. Partners and caregivers often suffer in silence, dealing with the emotional fallout of cancer. This program provides a safe space for everyone involved to heal and rebuild.

A Critical Need for Psychotherapy in Post-Cancer Care

Globally, 99% of cervical cancer cases are caused by HPV—a preventable disease that can be screened early. However, even with early detection and treatment, many cancer survivors continue to struggle with emotional scars long after their physical wounds have healed. In Hong Kong, where cervical cancer is the seventh most common cancer, alone in Hong Kong are thousands of survivors who could benefit from the life-changing therapy offered by THRIVE with your help

“Cancer care doesn’t stop when the therapy ends. Survivors are left with scars that aren’t visible. These include emotional trauma, intimacy issues, and a fear of recurrence. Programs like THRIVE are crucial for offering the complete rehabilitation survivors need to truly move forward.” To date, the Hong Kong Healthcare infrastructure offers little to none along those lines.
