Want to learn how to reconnect with life after a cancer diagnosis?
Join NCCS for a Cancer Policy and Advocacy Team webinar featuring Kathy Washburn, a certified holistic cancer coach and cancer survivor. In this webinar, you will learn the evolutionary function of both positive and negative emotions, understand that emotions offer data, and begin to practice awareness to empower you to respond — instead of react — to life.
National Cancer Institute's Office of Cancer Survivorship presents this webinar featuring Elizabeth Bouchard, PhD, MA, Professor of Oncology and Senior Vice President at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Intended Audience
Researchers, advocates, clinicians, and policymakers interested in cancer survivorship.
