Coping with anxiety, depression, and grief | 2021 Virtual Chordoma Community Conference

Feelings like anxiety, depression, fear, and grief are commonly experienced both by people who have cancer and by their caregivers. Responses to our Chordoma Survivorship Survey indicate that more than half of chordoma patients and survivors and nearly 80 percent of caregivers and co-survivors experience at least one emotional health challenge during their journey with chordoma. During this webinar, we discussed ways to cope with anxiety, depression, grief, and other emotional challenges.

The webinar featured presentations by Jennifer Bires, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, Executive Director of Life with Cancer and Patient Experience at Inova Schar Cancer Institute, and Megan Whetstone, LCSW, an oncology social worker with the Kelsey-Seybold Cancer Center.

Following the presentations, our Director of Patient Services, Shannon Lozinsky, MSW, led a question and answer session with the experts and discussed how the Chordoma Foundation can support you.
