November 11 at 10:30 AM EST: Caring Without Losing Yourself: How to Communicate, Find Support, and Protect Your Well-Being
Caring for someone with cancer can be deeply meaningful, but it can also be overwhelming, isolating, and emotionally exhausting. In this webinar, Dr. Leah Walsh and Dr. Laura Polacek share practical, research-backed strategies to help care-partners navigate the challenges of their role without losing sight of themselves. Together, they'll explore how to communicate more effectively, how to ask for and accept help, how to recognize and respond to the early signs of burnout, and how to build self-care into daily life.
You'll walk away with simple, realistic tools to support your own well-being while continuing to care for someone else. Whether you're new to being a care-partner or have been in this role for years, this session is designed to help you feel more confident, supported, and empowered, because your well-being is just as important as the care you provide.
November 30 at 4:00 PM EST: Gather Community Event: Care-Partner Connection & Conversation
Join fellow care-partners for a warm and supportive Gather Community event. This is an opportunity to connect with others who understand what it's like to be a care-partner, share experiences, and help guide meaningful topics for future gatherings. Come with your questions, ideas, and an open heart as we learn from one another and build a community of understanding and support.
To ensure a safe and comfortable space, this session is reserved for care-partners only. If you're a patient wondering whether it might be helpful for your loved one, feel free to reach out to cynthia@healthtree.org. This event is not recorded.
