MIP Annual Report 2021 : simplebooklet.com

FROMOUR FOUNDERMELISSA DELANEYDOLINERExecutive Director & FounderOn August 18, 2018, I was sitting in my living room with the TV on in the background, not really paying attention. My mind was wandering. I was thinking “Why not still start a nonprot? Can I do it?” I had often talked to Colin about starting “MIP” once he got better. The problem I was struggling with was that Colin had never gotten better and had died in April earlier that year. Could I possibly do it without him? I honestly did not know. Still, I opened my laptop, stared at the screen for a while and then leaped, with nothing but faith to catch me, and The MIP Foundation was born.There was so much I didn’t know! Like how to ocially be recognized as a non-prot and how much paperwork it takes to become tax exempt; setting up bank accounts and logos; letterheads; forms; by-laws; budgets; goals. Let alone, how to raise funds and how to best use the money. Huge questions lingered like, “What does The MIP Foundation stand for? How do we forge hospital partnerships?”Yet, the thing was, I was not alone. I was not the only one that had faith and the strong belief that adolescents and young adults (AYAs) facing cancer needed more support. Many people had surrounded Colin and me and now, when I asked for help, many answered. The very rst members of #TeamMIP began to use their hearts, their voices, and their talents to begin to lay the bricks to build what The MIP Foundation is becoming today.Colin and I may be the beating heart of TMF, for now. Yet, make no mistake; it is everyone that has joined #TeamMIP by donating, coming to an event, supporting a fund drive, or giving us their talents as a volunteer that are responsible for breathing air into TMF and giving it life. Now, four years later, we no longer make our fundraising signs by hand; we have a solid plan in place about our vision to help the amazing Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) oncology ghters; we ocially have moved into an oce space and are publishing this rst Annual Report.And none of it would be possible without #TeamMIP.Thank you for trusting my belief that, together, we can do so much to help these kids. It really does mean a lot to me. You have my thanks for your support. And my wish? To have your continued support to grow The MIP Foundation to be stronger and yet remain full of caring.With a hug,INTRODUCTION1

OUR MISSIONThe MIP Foundation’s mission is to foster and promote mental health support and social services for Adolescent and Young Adult (AYA) oncology patients, while increasing awareness about the eects of pediatric cancer. The MIP Foundation strives to:• Empower AYA patients to learn to voice to their fears, concerns, and anxieties about cancer. We provide mental wellness tools, unique to their own needs, to equip and empower AYA’s to learn new ways to cope with stress, anxiety, and physical changes created by cancer. We encourage self-advocacy skills by nding their voice to become a part of their treatment plan.• Connect peers facing cancer with one another to foster a sense of community and decrease feelings of isolation. Helping reconnect with and recall who they were before their diagnosis will remind them that cancer does not dene who they are. • Encourage an understanding that coping strategies help create more control of how they respond to having cancer, essentially helping to both feel mentally and physically more in charge of their life.MISSION3

OVERVIEWAYA CHALLENGES WHY ARE THE NEEDS OF ADOLESCENTS AND YOUNG ADULTS UNIQUE?When an AYA is diagnosed with cancer, the immediate course of action is to begin ghting using medicine and proven protocols that have a history of curing cancer and restoring good health. However, there is more to beating cancer than just medicine. And yet mental health support is not an automatic part of a treatment plan. Teens and young adults are navigating a unique and very important developmental stage. They are exploring individuality and identity, discovering support systems, and encountering life milestones that are a challenge for all young people. Cancer disrupts this already complicated landscape, throwing these many dicult aspects and experiences of cancer treatment into the mix. It is important for an AYA to assemble a strong “tool box” of skills to help process and cope with the continued challenges of a cancer diagnosis. To nd an age-appropriate role in their cancer treatment and develop a voice that is heard by their support people and medical team, will create long lasting benets beyond their cancer diagnosis.Although each AYA’s cancer experience is personal and dierent, we want to give insight into why enhancing skills to process while encouraging coping, is necessary. On the following page, you will see thoughts that challenge our MIPs with every new day and every new encounter. We hope that you can begin to appreciate and understand the unique experience of being an AYA with cancer. Supporting them in their pursuit to amplify their voice and strengthen their resilience is critical to moving on from cancer and living with the uncertainty it brings. How, when you are only 14 years old, can you possibly be able to deal with the lifelong issue of infertility, knowing you would fall in love and have to share this aspect of yourself? This was a real part of our son’s life, knowing someday he would have to tell the person he fell in love with that he could not have children.Melissa Delaney-Doliner, mother to Colin Delaney5

6ISOLATIONTHEFUTUREPHYSICALEFFECTSCANCERPSYCHOLOGICALDISTRESSPHYSICAL EFFECTS: An AYA is expected to deal with challenging physical eects; to confront “grown up” issues; and to make decisions without the benet of life experiences to lean on. The physical eects of treatment are signicant and for many patients include: pain, nausea, fatigue, full body hair loss, hearing loss, changes in cognitive abilities, weight loss, weight gain, growth delays or stunted growth, scarring, loss of limbs, infertiity, bladder and bowel incontinence and more…PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTRESS: The experience of cancer treatment has signicant emotional and social consequences for AYAs including increased anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress, and concerns about mortality. Additionally, AYAs are treated in pediatric hospitals surrounded by younger children where they may feel out of place. The experience of cancer for an AYA interrupts the course of emerging adulthood.ISOLATION: Diagnosed with cancer at an age when they are supposed to be gaining independence and discovering who they are, AYA cancer patients instead nd themselves stripped of freedom and autonomy. There are rarely days o from cancer. THE FUTURE: Cancer is a lifelong diagnosis for an AYA. With advances in treatment, many AYA are surviving and able to move forward in their lives, yet are twice as likely to suer chronic health and psychological conditions. Depression, anxiety, PTSD, permanent physical changes, infertility, and cognitive decline are life long concerns. “I feel like a burden to my family. Everyone’s life has changed because of me.”I can’t relate to my friends any more. I am worried about dying and they are worried about what to do Friday night.”“I feel so guilty. My mom had to stop working. Can we aord this?” “My face is swollen and my skin is discolored from the chemo. I don’t want anyone to see me! I can’t even bear to look at myself.”“I can’t seem to remember anything anymore, my brain isn’t working right!”“I have no energy to do anything at all!”“I am falling so behind in school, will I even be able to graduate?”“Am I going to die? Will I relapse in the future? Or get another cancer?”“How can I fall in love with someone and plan a life together knowing I have to tell them I’m infertile. ”“It’s easier to be alone than to be around people and see how they look at me.”“My friends are all going out and I have to stay home.”“Annual check-ups with special tests for the rest of my life? What if I nd a job that doesn’t have good insurance?”THE MIP FOUNDATION

In 2021, we entered the second year of the pandemic still facing uncertainty and barriers to being able to provide programming. Our hospital partners were still limiting physical donations of goods, a portion of the patient’s care team was still working primarily remotely and in person face to face care was still navigating its new normal. In person activities were still canceled and everyone was pivoting to discover how to provide eective programming in a virtual setting. Programming needsplummeted. So what did The MIP Foundation do? We took a lesson from our MIP families struggling with a cancer diagnosis and we began to look for the silver lining in things. When cancer enters the family dynamic through their teen’s diagnosis, the entire family unit is immediately thrust into a new world and challenged to nd a new way of thinking. There are challenges and barriers to navigate. Yet, within those challenges are moments of the ercest love, uninching strength, and clarity as to what is most important.The MIP Foundation found the silver lining in the pandemic and found those same moments allowing us to learn more about ourselves as an organization. We grew more connected to the families we are supporting and found the unexpected opportunity to develop programming more deeply through virtual platforms, while evaluating the direction that we are moving in. The pandemic allowed us to build a more solid base of programming, eectively reaching more AYA’s then we had expected to by our third year of operating. 2021PANDEMICTHE SILVER LINING8THE MIP FOUNDATION

So how do you turn the pain into power? Unfortunately, many teens and young adults think asking for help to understand what their mind is thinking, and feeling is a sign of weakness. We often hear, “You are so strong in your ght against cancer.” That to beat cancer, you need to be strong. But think about this… many times in our lives we accepted help and didn’t think twice about it or feel less strong asking for it. Learn Algebra by yourself? Don’t think so! Make sense of Shakespeare? Not without a teacher explaining it, that’s for sure! Driving a car? Not without a lesson rst! Asking for, and needing help is normal!Learning these normal skills all require help. And dealing with cancer is anything but a normal life skill. Facing an extraordinary, life-threatening situation such as cancer is impossible without support and guidance. Our goal is to normalize the need for help while emphasizing the importance of the mind-body connection.How We Help Empower, Connect and EncourageThe MIP Foundation focuses on three principles, each woven uniquely into all areas of programming that are oered by The MIP Foundation. Each principle helps the AYA oncology patient to learn ways to harness the power of their brainand the people around them. By focusing on Empowerment, Connection, and Encouragement each AYA is truly the Most Important Person in their cancerjourney. The MIP Foundation encourages and normalizes asking for help and learning how to do so. There are many forms of help that exist, the key is nding the one that ts their personality, matches their interests, and ultimately helping them to turn their pain into power. 10PROGRAMMINGTURNING PAIN INTO POWERI think she felt really seen and validated by the gifts in the kit. She made a really wonderful observation when we met yesterday when she said that she loved the (MIP) kit because it didn’t feel like gifts asking her to celebrate having cancer, but felt like tools; care; and support to help her feel stronger and more prepared for what it’s actually like to have cancer.Oncology Psychology Resident, Nemours Children’s HospitalTHE MIP FOUNDATION

As our agship program, MIP Kits unfailingly continue to empower the nominated AYA. Each MIP Kit is essentially a coping skills toolbox, weaving the patient’s personal interests together with the skills they would like to learn more about. Gaining skills to cope with depression, boredom, anxiety, fear, pain, loss of autonomy, and isolation are paramount to an AYA navigating a cancer diagnosis. MIP Kits empower an AYA to learn to voice their fears, concerns, and anxieties. Kits are a collection of curated mental health items that take into consideration the patient’s specic needs and cancer diagnosis. Literally, not one MIP Kit is the same. They shouldn’t be; everyone’s cancer journey and mental health needs are unique and their MIP kit should be too. The MIP Kit includes items to alleviate stress and anxiety, focus the mind, encourage mental and physical wellness, and most importantly, expose an AYA to new coping skills to turn pain into power.MIP Kits empower the nominating social worker to engage more deeply in knowing their patients and what interests them outside of the cancer world, in turn, learning about how the patient wants to engage in and learn new coping skills. This empowers both the social worker and patient to discuss identiable wellness goals. Most importantly the patient has the opportunity to be reminded that cancer is just one part of who they are. MAIN PROGRAMMING MIP KITS 13What touched my heart the most (in my MIP Kit) was the letter that came with it, written specically for me... it said, “You may have cancer, but cancer doesn’t have you.” The letter went on to tell me that I am the Most Important Person in my treatment plan. Now each patient I see while receiving my treatments I consider the Most Important Person in their plan.” Cecily Lovas, MIP, https://www.theodysseyonline.com/mip-foundationPROGRAMMING

15MIMI has been diagnosed with a rare, aggressive cancer – T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL) – which represents approximately 12% to 15% of all newly diagnosed ALL cases in pediatric patients. The treatment is long and intense, lasting between 24–36 months. When we met Mimi she had been spending long periods of time inpatient, isolated. She was unable to start 9th grade with her peers and has been limited in her interactions and ability to transition into high school. Mimi expressed an interest in using writing to help process her experience and in wanting to use the Calm App to introduce mediation and mindfulness to manage stress. She chose an integrative medicine tool; aromatherapy to decrease her stress levels and encourage relaxation. Due to her lengthy inpatient stays Mimi’s MIP Kit included art, wood working, self-care items, noise-canceling Apple air pods, and a sign for her door to limit interruptions on more dicult days. Mimi has always wanted unicorn slippers and a cozy purple blanket! The coping tools that Mimi chose will help her navigate a long and dicult diagnosis with treatment lasting through more than two years of her formative adolescent years.PROGRAMMING

17AMANDA was told she has Thyroid cancer In August of 2020. This is an uncommon cancer in childhood: fewer than one in 100,000 children develop Thyroid cancer each year. Perhaps most dicult is the interruption in going to school and not getting to connect with her peers. The MIP Foundation wanted Amanda’s MIP Kit to represent her personal interests and help encourage “brain breaks” so her mind could pause and rest. We included many activities to keep her busy, reminding her to pursue her passions. Amanda wished to learn to use mindfulness and mediation as coping skills. This was encouraged with a workbook so that she may explore her feelings and learn how she could manage them. The Zen Teen book oers multiple choices of skills to destress and calm down so that Amanda could nd the ones that best suited her. Choosing the Relax Melodies App helps to connect sounds of nature to comfort. The integrative medicine tool of Aromatherapy helps Amanda relax as her treatment comes with uncertainties, especially if her cancer has traveled to her lymph nodes.PROGRAMMING

19RYAN was referred to us with a recurring brain tumor called Pineal Germinoma. Having relapsed, Ryan was moving to the Bone Marrow Team for a stem cell transplant. Being a part of the BMT means weeks of inpatient time, so this MIP Kit included a book series, building kits and mind puzzles. At 19, Ryan had to leave college where he was pursuing his engineering degree. With such a dicult diagnosis, Ryan selected focusing on two coping skills: Breathwork and Meditation. Using controlled breathing methods Ryan was working to manage stress, anxiety and isolation. Through Mindfulness and Meditation Ryan’s goal was to decrease the negative thought process of imagining worse case scenarios and instead, focus on the moment he was in. Ryan also chose to use MindShift CBT, a self-help anxiety relief App, that helps you reduce worry, stress, and panic by following evidence-based strategies. PROGRAMMING

21SYDNEY is a burst of energy and very funny. Diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma she was facing fatigue, depression and anxiety. A senior in high school, she had to withdraw from the cosmetology program and delay receiving her certication. Sydney selected Breathwork to learn to control her stress as well as journals for self reection and personal discovery. Journaling can help to process what she is going through. As driving to the hospital for treatment was a trigger, Sydney also received a weighted blanket to help with anxiety. Finding nature a great source of comfort and peace, her MIP Kit included a year’s membership to Tyler Arboretum. Sydney’s app of choice is Headspace, a guide to practicing mindfulness in everyday life, helping her learn how to relax, manage stress, and focus her energy to become more centered and well rested through guided meditation, sleep meditation, and breathing exercises.PROGRAMMING

22MORE PROGRAMMINGEMPOWER, CONNECT, ENCOURAGEBuilding Your ToolboxWe adamantly stand behind the words to our MIPs, cancer is just TOO BIG an interruption into your life to get through it without help. The Building Your Toolbox Workshop is a 4-week series of dierent topics: Circles of Control, Relaxation & Breathing, The “F” (feelings) Word, and Thinking About Your Thinking. The workshop empowers and equips AYA’s facing cancer to learn new ways to cope with the emotions that are ooding them such as stress, anxiety, fear, isolation, helplessness, pain, physical illness, and a loss of independence. MIP Mental Health DaysHow many times do you say to yourself, “I need a break?” Adults have the luxury of being in charge of saying, “I need a day o.” The MIP Mental Health Day program oers AYAs an oppourtunity to take a day o to connect with family or friends. MIP MHD’s encourage an AYA to remember that cancer is just one small part of who they are, they are so much more than a cancer diagnosis.Hero BeadsIt is an important goal of The MIP Foundation to recognize and increase programming in challenged socio-economic areas, such as St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children (SCHC) that has limited funding available for psychosocial support services. At the request of social work and child life, we developed the Hero Bead program and AYA Art Cart. With Hero Beads, each bead represents a dierent part of cancer treatment; chemo, surgeries, blood product transfusions, tests, port placements, procedures, etc. As the teen moves though their treatment, they begin to accumulate a string of beads which in turn, allows friends and family to see all they have accomplished, all they have endured, and how truly strong they are.AYA Art CartSCHC does not oer Art Therapy to its patients and The MIP Foundation tackled this absence, by providing a mobile Art Cart. The importance of having age-appropriate therapeutic art activities to provide down time for the brain to process, even if in the background, emotions and stress is a top priority for The MIP Foundation. The Art Cart is stocked on an ongoing basis, providing ample opportunity for artistic expression, photojournalism, crafts, journaling, story writing, building and coloring. All in a very cool AYA friendly way!Peer ConnectionsFinding a peer group that “gets it” is important to mental health and wellness. Many AYA patients report feeling a disconnect from their friends. A cancer diagnosis can make it hard to relate to friends and classmates. Supporting inpatient activities and programming by providing supplies and funding for Child Life Specialists to host inpatient AYA activities is an important facet of MIP programming. Activities can be done in person or virtually. These activities occur monthly with the goal of connecting the AYAs with one another to decrease feelings of isolation and loneliness.
