Cancer Survivors Online Self-Management Workshop


This workshop is aimed at helping you better manage your own health and the demands placed
on you because of your cancer diagnosis. It is hoped that the workshop will give you the

can be made available to other cancer survivors.

Each workshop is 6 weeks with new lessons each week. You will be asked to log on at your
convenience 2-3 times each week for a total of 1-2 hours, to read the lessons, complete
assignments, and share your ideas and experiences with your classmates. There are no
requirements that participants log in at the same time.

With the moderators and other workshop participants, you will discuss:

- Healthy eating

- Managing fatigue

- Managing stress
