The 2021 Survivor to Survivor Network Workshop Series is Coming Soon!
The S2S facilitators are being matched with topic experts from the community and are starting to build their workshops. Here’s what you have to look forward to.
Anuraj’s workshop will be about coping with cognitive effects of childhood cancer treatment. He’ll talk about day-to-day challenges; school, work, and life impacts, strategies to manage cognitive impacts, and how to find support if you need it.
Harman is going to teach other survivors about how meditation and mindfulness can be used to influence behaviour. Some of his topics will be: the mind/body connection, being mindful of how we talk to ourselves, how to start meditating and cognitive behavioural therapy.
Sara’s workshop is called, “Will They Understand? The Personal Disclosure Dilemma at School and Work.” She’ll discuss when, how much and what personal health information to disclose; why it’s important; the pros and cons of disclosure; who to talk to for support and information; and your legal rights.
If you’re considering college as your academic path, Emelia will teach you how to get on it and what to expect, including: classroom accommodations/accessibility services, programs for people with disabilities or high school certificates, ways to pay for college, different pathways to college, and living at home or in residence.
All workshops will be hosted virtually. Information about the workshop dates and how to register will be coming soon.

Creative Corner with Kathleen - eNews
Kathleen Landayto is a graduate of George Brown College's Graphic Design program. She loves being a freelance graphic designer, and has recently started illustrating custom pieces for clients. She enjoys the work and loves that it brings her clients joy every time they look at it.
This piece is one of her latest digital drawings. She created it using the Procreate app and applied a watercolour art style. Kathleen says, “With digital art, you can use layers to achieve the final look. I started by defining the body shape, added light and shadow values for depth and finished it off on the 30th layer. This final layer adds minor but important details such as whiskers and fur lines, making the subject come to life.”

Kathleen is an ALL survivor.
