Covid-19 has completely adjusted our daily routines and impacted every aspect of our lives including social, physical, emotional and economic changes. Cancer patients and their loved ones know all too well about adapting, and our goal, even during this time of unprecedented global challenge, is to continue providing the skills and resources necessary to maintain healthy survivorship.
As we personally and professionally adjust to the uncertain times caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Texas Oncology Foundation has adjusted our focus to continue to fulfill our mission of supporting cancer patients and their loved ones by adapting and enhancing some existing virtual programs. This webinar is one of many in a series that will provide our usual recommendations for healthy living after a cancer diagnosis, but will provide additional tools for coping as we face social distancing, limited food supplies, and nation-wide business closures.
In this webinar, David Zuniga, PhD, MDIV, MA, presents his thoughts on stress and coping during the COVID-19 pandemic, exploring practical coping mechanisms and techniques for cancer patients and caregivers (both lay and professional).
