Free mental heath support for cancer patients

We're delighted to share that Big Health are expanding their partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support so that anyone living with or beyond cancer can access the support they need for their mental health and quality of life. 

Free digital treatments for anxiety and sleep management are now available to all cancer patients in the UK - at no cost - day or night, at home or in hospital, without having to wait for in-person therapy appointments.

Previously these treatments were available only to newly diagnosed patients.

What are these treatments, and what is this resource pack?

Sleepio and Daylight are digital CBT programmes, developed by clinicians using proven behavioural techniques as non-drug treatment options for improved sleep and anxiety management.

The resource page allows you to share access to Sleepio and Daylight with your patient communities, and help them to start treatment.

Why is this important?

People living with cancer say that poor sleep, worry, and anxiety impacts their quality of life.

The resource page helps you to:

• Explain the benefits of Sleepio and Daylight to those you support
• Start to identify who could benefit
• Provide clear, simple instructions on how patients can start treatment immediately, at no cost
