The MIP Foundation strives to:

Empower

…AYA patients to learn to voice to their fears, concerns, and anxieties about cancer. We provide mental wellness tools, unique to their own needs, to equip and empower AYA’s to learn new ways to cope with stress, anxiety, and physical changes created by cancer. We encourage self-advocacy skills by finding their voice to become a part of their treatment plan.

Connect

…Peers facing cancer with one another to foster a sense of community and decrease feelings of isolation. Helping reconnect with and recall who they were before their diagnosis will remind them that cancer does not define who they are

Encourage

…an understanding that coping strategies help create more control of how they respond to having cancer, essentially helping to both feel mentally and physically more in charge of their life.
