Elephants and Tea and Worth the Wait are partnering to offer a new 2-part program for cancer survivors looking for community and resources in the areas of family building options and mental health support.

Session 2: Personal Journeys and Professional Insights

This 90-minute session will emphasize the power of sharing and storytelling by combining health experts and Worth the Wait grant recipients in an open dialogue around common mental health challenges and coping strategies. Health experts will speak on what they see in their professional careers to validate and normalize the experiences of others going through the family planning and building process. Worth the Wait grant recipients will speak to their peers about their personal challenges and successes to highlight common experiences as well as strategies for coping and processing.
