This session will explain the basics of genetic testing, the importance of knowing your family history, and what test results can mean for you and your loved ones.

Session 2: Mental Health Is All of Us: Navigating Life, Change, and Care Together Mental health is more than a diagnosis—it’s a reflection of our emotions, relationships, identity, and how we care for ourselves through life’s most difficult moments. This session invites us to reimagine mental health through a whole-person lens, exploring the emotional and relational toll of major life changes and how they impact our well-being. Through guided conversation you will discover language and tools to talk about mental health with friends and loved ones, reflect on what support looks like in different seasons of life, and begin identifying their own pathways to care, community, and resilience.

Speakers

1:45 pm – 2:45 pm

Session 3: Revitalizing your Sexual Health during and after Cancer treatment Cancer and its treatments can significantly affect your body, emotions, relationships, and sense of self — all of which play a vital role in sexual health and intimacy. This session is designed to support individuals in navigating the often overlooked but deeply personal challenges of sexual wellbeing during and after cancer treatment. We’ll explore practical strategies, medical options, and emotional tools to help restore confidence, desire, and comfort. Whether you’re dealing with physical changes, fatigue, loss of libido, or changes in intimacy with a partner, you are not alone — and there is help.
