Purpose in Planning Workshop Series

Following a cancer diagnosis, there are many factors patients, their families, and caregivers must manage. During this journey, it can be difficult for patients and their loved ones to prioritize their responsibilities as well as review the legal and financial questions that can and should be addressed. The Purpose in Planning Coping Circle Series addresses these issues by providing both information on finances and planning as well as emotional guidance to people affected by cancer.

Part I: Navigating Finances & Planning Ahead

This session provides information about how individuals who need to take time off of work, or who can no longer work can replace income. It will also cover practical tips to deal with out-of-pocket medical expenses, general financial wellness tips, and sources of financial assistance. Because dealing with finances can be emotional, we provide tips for dealing with difficult conversations, and where to find support if needed.
