Upcoming Schedule
Tuesday, April 6: Dealing With Cancer and Loved Ones
It can be hard to know how to communicate and support one another under the best of circumstances, and a challenging life experience like cancer can make relationships very interesting to navigate. Different points of view, different expectations, and different ways of coping can make for a bumpy road on the way to getting the support and connection that we need on this cancer journey. This class offers insights and strategies for cancer patients dealing with complicated relationships.
Tuesday, May 4: Sharing Your Story: Some Thoughts for Creating a Living Legacy
