Shore Medical Center in Somers Point.
SOMERS POINT – Anyone undergoing cancer treatment or completed treatment and are struggling with its effects is invited to attend a free six-week virtual workshop, “Cancer: Thriving & Surviving”, presented by the NJ Office of Cancer Control and Prevention and regional health coalitions, including the Cape Atlantic Coalition for Health.
Through these social worker-led weekly workshops, you’ll learn how to overcome challenges that can accompany a cancer diagnosis. Sessions will be held on Wednesdays from March 16 through April 20, with two sessions to choose from for your convenience, either 10 a.m. – noon or 6-8 p.m.
Workshops will focus on finding real solutions to common cancer-related challenges, including depression, changes in your body, fatigue, discomfort, sleep problems, stress and anxiety, and how to live with uncertainty. Each workshop builds off of the previous week’s workshop to give attendees a full arsenal of tools and resources to help them manage the effects of cancer.
“Cancer: Thriving and Surviving” is an evidence-based program originally developed by Stanford University and is being offered throughout the country to help people with cancer and survivors have the best outcome and improve their quality of life.
