Caregiving Tips & Best Practices Regarding Isolation and Loneliness

This month’s call-in program will focus on BMT care partners. Michelle M. Bishop, PhD, a licensed psychologist specialized in coping with cancer and caregiving, will talk about what the BMT survivorship road is like for many family caregivers, noting that it can be lengthy, isolating and lonely at times, offering valuable insight and advice. Additionally, Monica Coello, a seasoned professional in international trade and customer relations work, and a cancer survivor herself, will talk of her recent experience as a caregiver to her husband Greg. Jennifer Gillette, our licensed staff social worker will host this call. There will be plenty of time for live questions.
