“An amazing, worthwhile informative learning opportunity. The program strikes the right balance for managing cancer in the workplace - providing practical skills for managers, supporting individuals facing the worry and potential diagnosis of cancer, and the legal obligation an employer must be aware of.”
“The Boutros Bear Programme has helped me to instil some very good habits into my every day. I have more energy, flexibility and, more importantly, Boutros Bear supported me through my chemotherapy and joined a supportive community.”
