“What about the people supporting someone with cancer?
Reserve your place: Live Webinar Living With the ‘What If?’: Fear of Cancer Recurrence in Caregivers.
Fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) is often discussed in the context of patients and survivors. But what about the family members and friends who support them?
Caregivers can experience their own fears, uncertainty, and emotional challenges and understanding these experiences is essential to providing meaningful psychosocial support.
Join IPOS on December 9 for a focused webinar with Dr. Leah E. Walsh, Assistant Professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, exploring fear of cancer recurrence in cancer caregivers.
This session will examine:
How FCR in caregivers is conceptualized and how it differs from related constructs.
How caregiver FCR can be assessed.
Interventions to help reduce FCR.
Important clinical considerations when working with caregivers.
Whether you work in psycho-oncology, psychology, social work, supportive care, or research, this is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of an important and sometimes overlooked aspect of the cancer experience.
