Early Warning Signs of Psychosocial Risk in Children with Cancer and their Families

Posted on November 6, 2015 by admin


VIEW THE PRESENTATION

Presentation Description:
 
It is well established that a diagnosis of childhood cancer and its treatment can lead to psychosocial distress in the affected child and the family, particularly during the early stages of treatment. Identifying early warning signs of psychosocial risk in this population may lead to a reduction of psychosocial distress and better allocation of resources. This presentation provided an overview of psychosocial distress and risk in this population; guidelines and standards for psychosocial services in pediatric oncology; barriers to psychosocial screening, assessment, and care; psychosocial screening tools and recommendations for psychosocial screening and follow-up plan.

Screening and Prevention – Empowering through Education

Posted on January 20, 2014 by admin


VIEW THE PRESENTATION

Presentation Description: 
Do you show up at your screening appointments wondering why you’re even there? Or maybe you haven’t gone at all and are worried you missed the memo? Screening and prevention can be a tricky subject because there isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ standard. This presentation provides an overview of exactly what screening is, why it’s important, who is at risk for what, and what you need to know to responsibly manage your health for years to come.
