You’re Not Crazy: Cancer and Mental Health Workshop

8 am PT/9 am MT/10 am CT/11 am ET (90 min)

Hosted in partnership with Smith Center & Hope Connections

Receiving a cancer diagnosis, going through treatment, and managing side effects all while continuing to live your life can often make you feel crazy. Many cancer survivors feel like their family and friends don’t understand and that they aren’t sure how to make sense of their identity after cancer. This workshop provides information on the prevalence of mental and emotional health issues among cancer survivors, normalizes the experience, and offers tools and resources for coping.
