Rian Harvey: Coping with cancer in your teens

Having being diagnosed with cancer at the age of 14, Rian Harvey discusses the mental trauma he faced following a 2-year battle with the disease. Touching on coping mechanisms, Rian’s social support platform ‘The L Card’ and his inspirational outlook on life, Rian shares his thoughts on the concept of ‘trauma’ and how his adolescent prognosis shaped him into the man he is today.
