This National Brain Tumor Month, MBTN is inspiring change! Together, we’re creating a meaningful difference.

MBTN’s Survivor-Thriver Speaks program is a crucial platform that brings attention to often-neglected psychosocial symptoms experienced by patients throughout diagnosis and treatment. These symptoms—ranging from emotional distress and social isolation to anxiety and depression—can profoundly affect an individual’s overall health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

By acknowledging and addressing these critical issues during

diagnosis, our program aims to mitigate the long-term challenges many survivors-thrivers face on their journeys from diagnosis to post-treatment, fostering hope and reassurance for their ongoing recovery.

We believe that giving voice to these experiences not only validates the struggles of those affected but also encourages community members to listen and support them. Through supportive initiatives, educational resources, and community engagement, we aim to ensure that survivors-thrivers’ self-reports are recognized and valued, thereby fostering their well-being and resilience.

By raising awareness and promoting open discussions about these psychosocial aspects of meningioma brain tumors, we can create a meaningful, lasting impact on the lives of those navigating the complexities of meningioma brain disease.

Join us in making a difference that truly resonates in our communities through participation and support!
