Workshops and Lectures

Learning Tailored to Your Needs

Attend educational workshops and talks designed for people living with cancer and their caregivers and loved ones. Learn proven techniques and understand new research and scientific developments. 

Get started
Three people are sitting and having a discussion in a conference room. One man in a blue sweater speaks while another man in a beret and a woman listen. A table with papers and supplies is in the background.

Workshops

The Center offers various types of workshops year-round that allow you to learn while taking action over time. Some of our offerings include an eight-week grief management wellness workshop, ongoing “There’s Something Funny About Having Cancer” stand-up comedy workshops, and goal-setting workshops.

Lectures

The Center offers virtual lectures year-round on topics of interest to people living with cancer and their loved ones and caregivers. Educational sessions cover topics including: details about specific cancer treatments and therapeutic protocols, the role of exercise and movement in cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship, and understanding clinical trials.

Featured Talks

If you missed a learning event at the Center or virtually, you can find many of them on our YouTube channel.
