Blum Center Program: Caring for Yourself While Caring for Someone with Cancer
We care about the family and friends that help provide care for our patients at Mass General Cancer Center and recognize the emotional and physical toll this can take. In this Massachusetts General Hospital Blum Center webinar from June 2, 2021, Jamie Jacobs, PhD, explores sources of stress when caring for someone with cancer, introduces strategies to manage stress and burnout, and identifies creative ways to integrate self-care back into your routine. She also gives a first-hand glimpse into the innovative work of the Caregiving Research Program.
