How we look can have an impact on how we feel. One of the side effects of cancer treatments may be hair loss and other appearance-related changes. CancerCare Manitoba’s Guardian Angel Caring Room is a place where you can receive help with this from compassionate, knowledgeable staff and volunteers.

The Look Good Feel Better Program provides free workshops for skincare, makeup and head-covering techniques.

Promoted by CancerCare Manitoba, this initiative of the Cosmetics Alliance Canada is a national program to help women with cancer learn techniques to �manage the appearance-related side effects of their treatment.

For more information or to register for a workshop, please call 1-800-914-5665.

Due to infection control standards and space limitations, the Guardian Angel Caring Room does not accept hair donations at CancerCare Manitoba. Please search online for a charity of your choice.

Here are two charities for you to consider if you wish to make a hair donation:

• Wigs for Kids in St. Catherine’s, Ontario (works independently and with Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto)
• A Child’s Voice Foundation in Mississauga, Ontario

If you are thinking of turning your hair donation into a fundraising event to support patients on a cancer journey, please contact special.events@cancercare.mb.ca or call 204-787-4143 or toll-free at 1-877-407-2223.
