The funds will also support activities within the Wellness Lounge.
The Wellness Lounge provides a space for patients and their families to seek support, comfort and simply retreat and relax.

Each year, Barwon Health care for and treats over 20,000 patients from the Geelong and Victorian Southwest Region with 2,400 being new patients.

Chemotherapy Diaries for Barwon Health |
Dry July is proud to have funded a pilot at Barwon Health’s Andrew Love Cancer Centre in Geelong for patient chemotherapy diaries.
These booklets contain in depth information on chemotherapy treatment for patients at the centre, as well as key contact information, and individual record keeping pages - so they can travel with patients for quick reference.

Art Therapy at Andrew Love Cancer Centre |
Barwon Health’s Andrew Love Cancer Centre in Geelong has used funds from Dry July towards an art therapy program.
Art therapy is used to help patients manage physical and psychological issues by using creative activities to express emotions. It provides an outlet for people to address emotional conflicts about their diagnosis and treatment, and express feelings that they may not be able to speak about out loud. The process of producing art can also be a relaxation tool for cancer patients. Trained art therapists guide patients through this therapy.
