When a human being is unwell the whole human being must be treated, not just the disease. In other words, a holistic approach is needed. The main beliefs of the Life Force Foundation's philosophy are:

  • Recognition of each individual as a whole human being—physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual

  • Belief that healing takes place on many levels

  • Recognition and acknowledgement of the experience of cancer as trauma, and the need for appropriate and supportive care for patients, families and carers

  • Belief in a balanced approach to health care and the right of the individual to have access to psycho-social support in dealing with the illness

  • Recognition of the value of group work as a powerful tool for healing In learning how to cope with and transform our feelings of fear, confusion, despair and anger, we have a precious gift—each other.
