Truce
Truce is an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy group program for young people who have a parent with cancer. In a pragmatic controlled trial, we compared Truce with a wait-list condition to assess its effect on unmet needs and distress.

Participants' unmet needs improved over time (β^ = −5.01, SE = 16.48, p…

However, best practices for engaging and supporting young leaders in cancer support organisations remain unclear. This article reports on the co-design and implementation of a Youth Leadership Framework within a nati…
