When

Presented by ComPsych

You or a loved one has recently been diagnosed with a serious medical condition, creating significant emotional and psychological challenges alongside the physical health concerns.

The Reality: The emotions experienced after receiving a cancer diagnosis, having a heart attack, or while trying to manage a chronic condition can be overwhelming and affect every aspect of your life and relationships.

The Challenge: Many people are unprepared for the mental health impact that accompanies serious medical diagnoses and don't know what emotional responses are normal or how to cope with the changes in their lives.

What You'll Gain:

  • Understanding of how serious medical diagnoses can be expected to impact mental health
  • Knowledge of normal emotional responses to cancer, heart attacks, and chronic conditions
  • Strategies you can utilize to help process and adjust to changes in your lives

This workshop will explore the connection between physical health diagnoses and mental well-being, providing practical tools for navigating the emotional journey that accompanies serious medical conditions.

Essential for patients with new diagnoses, family members and caregivers, and anyone supporting someone through a serious medical condition.
