The Cancer Support Community is pleased to invite you to join us on May 1 from 1-2 pm EST for the third session in a series called What’s In Your First Aid Kit? Resources and Tools to Help You Survive and Thrive.
Do you tend to spend so much time taking care of others that you forget to prioritize taking care of yourself? Explore the relationship between self-compassion and the practice of self-care while balancing stressors faced as an oncology healthcare professional. Gain insight into personal and research-oriented practices to encourage prevention, recovery, and resilience.
This is a non-credit education for personal enrichment.
