When a loved one is diagnosed with cancer, you may experience a spectrum of loss experiences that you grieve, but feel like you can't give space to them. This caregiver-focused session will focus on Disenfranchised Grief, or grief that may not be acknowledged or considered "legitimate." Join for a space in which you can give your grief a voice, feel supported to grieve all of the losses in between, and learn how to better cope with this type of grief by finding community with other caregivers experiencing similar feelings.

We hear all the time about the importance of caring for your mental health, but mental health resources can be really difficult to access when you need them the most. If you're already struggling or not feeling physically well, even a google search can be incredibly daunting. This session will break down what types of mental health support are available, how to decide what's the best fit for your current needs, and best practices for acccessing care.

But there are a range of other professionals with specific expertise whose job is to care for you! Join this session to learn more about some of the "unsung heros" of your medical team and how they can support you, with a panel featuring an oncology pharmacist, social worker, dietician, and more.
