CSPH X1900 - Healing in the Midst of a Cancer Journey
Description
Each week of this series will explore topics related to the unique and individual challenges associated with a cancer diagnosis and treatment. Whether you are undergoing cancer treatment yourself – or caring for a loved one who is – this series will create space for you to reflect on the impact of this journey on your mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.
This series has been developed with the help of people living with cancer, their caregivers, expert clinicians, mental health professionals, and innovators in whole-person health and wellbeing to make it engaging, interactive, and impactful. Throughout the series, you'll hear from guests who will share resources and interactive practices to improve your wellbeing.
Each session in this series will combine information-sharing, personal reflection, and experiences that will guide you toward new and deeper ways of tending to your wellbeing. We'll explore topics such as mental health and wellbeing, difficult emotions, relationships and community, grief, and tools for healing, such as the power of mindfulness, music, imagery, and nature.
Regardless of where you are on your cancer journey, this series will offer a supportive learning environment and valuable resources to help you along the way. You are not alone on this journey.
