The Next Chapter: Support After Cancer Treatment Ends [Dempsey Connects]

July 8 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT

Overview

Do you have questions about navigating life post cancer treatment? Are you looking for ways to care for your physical and emotional well-being after treatment has ended? Do you want to connect with others who ‘get it’?
Join us for this 4-week series to learn techniques for coping with the new physical and emotional reality of your post-treatment cancer journey. While connecting with other survivors, learn the importance of eating well coupled with strategies to optimize your diet; identify how movement and fitness can care for your body and mind; and explore how complementary therapies can improve your well-being.
Attendance at all four sessions is highly recommended.
  • Week 1 – CONNECT: Meet with others in a similar place in their cancer journey.
  • Week 2 – FEEL WELL: Discover new ways to move your body and learn about how complementary therapies can care for your body and mind.
  • Week 3 – EAT WELL: Learn how to optimize your diet and eat well through survivorship.
  • Week 4 – FEEL: Discuss the emotional realities post-treatment.
