On May 15, 2018, POGO hosted a workshop on Bright IDEAS, an evidence-based, cognitive behavioural approach to enhance coping skills that was developed to alleviate distress in caregivers of children recently diagnosed with cancer. This workshop focused on ways in which the Bright IDEAS model can be applied to survivors and their families, to help alleviate distress in this patient population. Approximately 25 oncologists, nurses, social workers, and other health care professionals attended.
