A May 2007 survey conducted by The Wellness Community (TWC) and KRC Research revealed that 80% of loved ones and friends who support those in cancer treatment reported experiencing regular stress and anxiety and 29% reported being treated for depression during their caregiving experience. What can be done to ease the burden and support the emotional needs of these key providers? Guests on this topic will include Eileen Heisman, President & CEO of National Philanthropic Trust; and Andrea Roschke, caregiver and participant at The Wellness Community-Valley/Ventura.
