In this episode we are joined by a panel of adolescent and young adult cancer survivors who have a meaningful conversation about emotional well-being.

Guest Topics Include:

• What does emotional well-being mean to you?
• What would you say is different about being diagnosed at a younger age?
• What did you find helpful through the hardest moments?
• What do you think most people misunderstand about cancer survivorship?
• Did you connect with other young adult survivors and what was that like for you?
• Can you describe ways that you notice you’ve changed since your diagnosis of cancer?
• If you could go back to those first moments of your cancer diagnosis, what advice would you tell yourself?

Discussion with our Key Opinion Leader:

• Why is it so important to take care of yourself emotionally during a time of a medical diagnosis such as blood cancer?
• What are some ways to make space and validate every feeling that may occur?
• What are some skills that survivors can focus on achieving that will help them have better mental health outcomes?
• What are the benefits having a mental health provider as part of your care?
• What are some resources you recommend for our audience that may be looking to start or enhance their mental health journey?
