Conference Programme
CAYAS 2025 Conference
The 2025 CAYAS conference returns for its fifth year this October on Saturday, 11th October in Croke Park in Dublin. Hosted by Childhood Cancer Ireland and CanTeen Ireland, the Childhood, Adolescent, Young Adult Cancers & Survivorship Conference (CAYAS) highlights the lived experience of parents, families, patients, and survivors by providing them with a platform to collaborate and connect with medical experts, health care researchers, and others.
Building Connections
This year, the theme of the conference is Building Connections.
A diagnosis of childhood, adolescent or young adult cancer brings so much change to a family. Relationships with people and places are altered, both during and after treatment. Connections with work, school, and friends may be lost, just as new relationships with the medical team and other parents or young people are gained.
While these changes in our relationships may not be permanent, the ongoing adjustments for patients, parents and siblings are challenging nonetheless.
Throughout all of this change there is one constant – the family. Through our theme of Building Connections, we will explore the supports that families need during and after treatment.
Every family does not look the same and needs will vary but the theme of connection is universal.
We will hear directly from patients, parents and survivors as we explore the scaffolding that is, or should be, built around families to support them throughout their cancer experience.

Involving people, improving outcomes: building partnerships through Public and Patient Involvement and Engagement (PPIE)
Presenter: Dr Claire Fitzgerald, Systems Biology Ireland and Ashleigh Kiernan, survivor
Improving Education for Children and Young People with Cancer: An International Collaboration
Presenter: Dr Margaret Flood, Assistant Professor in Inclusive Education at Maynooth University
Dr Margaret Flood (Maynooth University) introduces a new project, which aims to improve the educational experiences and outcomes of children, adolescents and young adults during and after cancer treatment.
Through its partnership with Kennedy Kreiger Institute and Johns Hopkins University in the US, this two-year project will compare international experiences to identify shared barriers and solutions.
Through focus groups, surveys and collaborative workshops, the team will design “roadmaps” – clear, practical guides to help families and schools navigate the return to education. They will also work towards establishing an educational support service for children with cancer in Ireland. This project is proudly supported by Childhood Cancer Ireland.
Life after Childhood Leukaemia
Presenter: Avril Deegan
While successful completion of treatment for childhood leukemia is a major milestone, it does not necessarily signal the end of challenges for children and their parents. Adjusting to post-treatment life requires resilience, with social support playing a key role in shaping quality of life. However, despite the importance of these factors, research on children’s and parents’ lived experience in this context remains limited. This study seeks to explore how children and their parents experience social support, resilience, and quality of life following successful leukaemia treatment.
The findings highlight the emotional, psychological, and social complexities children and parents face during the post-treatment phase, emphasising the ongoing need for structured psychosocial support even after treatment ends. While social support contributes to resilience, the study emphasises the necessity for structured and targeted interventions to address lingering challenges and improve long-term quality of life for children and parents. Such interventions are essential for helping children and parents manage emotional distress, develop effective coping strategies, and ultimately improve their long-term quality of life.
Fireside Chat: In their words: navigating the childhood, adolescent and young adult cancer experience
Chair: Mark Dywer, Hand in Hand
In this fireside chat, Mark Dwyer, Director of Services at Hand in Hand, will be joined by parent Catherine Konsoulas, childhood cancer survivor Eoin Cronly and young adult cancer survivor Ella Farrell. Together, they’ll explore the emotional, social, and practical challenges of adjusting to life during and after cancer, highlighting the supports that make a difference along the way. This session offers a unique opportunity to hear firsthand what families truly need, in their own words.
Doodle Your Way: an art workshop for young people and siblings
---
Come as you are—no experience needed. In this relaxed workshop, artist Vincent Devine invites you to reconnect with your imagination through spontaneous doodling, storytelling, and visual play. Whether you’re a seasoned sketcher or picking up a pencil for the first time in years, this space is about freedom, not perfection. Through guided prompts and open exploration, participants will use doodling as a way to reflect, connect, and create something that’s uniquely theirs. Materials provided—just bring yourself.
Round Table Discussion: Building connections: a shared conversation
Led by: Caroline Rooney
Before lunch, all attendees will take part in a round-table discussion on the theme Building Connections. This session offers a chance for everyone to share their perspectives and help shape the deeper exploration of the theme in the afternoon.

Connection Session: staying anchored as a parent
Maintaining and building relationships during and after childhood cancerwith Dr Mairead Brennan
– 1 hr 10 mins
Relationships within your circle of family, friends and community can be impacted during and after treatment. There may be surprises with who was supportive, as well as disappointments with who fell away. At the same time, you are negotiating relationships with your child’s medical team, as well as changes with your relationship with your partner and children, or navigating all of this as a single parent.
This session is for parents of children / young people who are in treatment or finished treatment, even if your child finished treatment many years ago. In this session, we will identify and normalise these experiences and share strategies to help re-build or stay connected.
Connection Session: Exercise and movement (for young people and siblings)
Sarah O’Neill, adolescent cancer survivor and personal trainer
Karl Corcoran, young adult cancer survivor, online coach and ExWell employee

Both Sarah and Karl are passionate about the positive impacts of exercise and movement, but they also have first-hand experience of challenges like cancer-related fatigue and other side effects from treatment.
Alongside Sarah, Karl, physiotherapist Sinead and occupational therapist Michael Brogan, you will have a chance to explore the benefits of movement and physical activity in your everyday life and the positive impacts on your body and mind.
You will also have an opportunity to chat to other young people about the challenges of building movement into your day, to share what works for you and to find the right level of movement for YOU in YOUR life at the moment.
The Resilience Toolkit: Skills for the Workplace
Jo Irwin, Director of i4 Training
Whether you support families and young people directly or study their experiences through research, this interactive workshop is for you. This session will focus on cultivating resilience and preventing compassion fatigue. Participants will learn to recognise the early signs of burnout and explore practical strategies to strengthen personal resilience.
Come away with practical tools for maintaining healthy boundaries, including how to professionally and confidently say “no”, and introduces techniques to address issues early and prevent unnecessary conflict. Attendees will also learn how to make clear, values-based decisions and reflect on the Circles of Influence framework to help shift focus from overwhelm to purposeful action.

It happened at such a transitional part of my life, it felt like I was starting all over again.
