Mindbox - A toolbox for the mind
Prostate cancer has been a taboo subject in polite society. Men affected by the disease often carry a lot of guilt and shame, and ultimately struggle with a loss of identity. Furthermore, rural isolation can exacerbate the anxiety felt by these men. 'Mindbox' is the result of Jamie Walker's research into this issue. It is a small package that can be posted directly to these men, containing specific information about the individuals diagnosis, treatment, side effects, and mental well-being. We are putting this information directly into the hands of the men who need it the most. The aim for this research was to address how we can most effectively alleviate the emotional stress prostate cancer has on rural Australian men.
