Priority from the Teenage and Young Adult Cancer PSP

UNCERTAINTY: At the end of treatment and during long term follow up, what support services improve psychological well-being, social functioning and mental health?
Overall ranking This was one of the 20 questions at the workshop that fell outside of the Top 10. These were not ranked in any order of priority
JLA question ID 0060/20
Explanatory note Late physical effects of therapies are well documented, but we know less about which young people might be left with psychological issues such as anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), or depression. As a result we know less about how to support these young people.
