About this event

Making meaning from hardship is a complex conversation. Many cancer survivors feel the delicate balance between making meaning and the internalized or external pressure that often follows a cancer diagnosis. Questions such as, “what now?” are not uncommon when treatment ends. Well-meaning friends and family may subtly (or not so subtly) expect us to behave or view the world in different ways. If figuring out who you are now feels puzzling, join us. Together, we will talk about how changes in your identity and your perspective are a valid and important part of this journey. And how research has shown us that making meaning after hardship does, in fact, facilitate adjustment and well-being. Let’s Talk About It.
