SUMMARY:Healthcare Provider Training: Simple Coping Mechanisms to Reduce Cancer-Related Stress in Patients
DESCRIPTION:Sharsheret’s free\, one-hour training\, Simple Coping Mechanisms to Reduce Cancer-related Stress in Patients is an interactive training that explores imagery and metaphors to assist patients with the anxiety that commonly accompanies diagnoses\, treatment\, and survivorship.  These tools\, meant to be shared with patients\, are intentionally familiar\, and easily recalled\, to be used during moments of unexpected stress\, to allow the patient to reframe their thoughts surrounding a particular concern. While these tools are not meant as a replacement for ongoing therapy for those who need\, they do allow for a non-threatening introduction to the topic of mental health. Also included is an introduction to Sharsheret’s free psychosocial support for breast and ovarian cancer patients. \nFree CE credit may be available through ASWB\, NYSW\, ANCC\, and ACCME. \nRegister here. \nContact Melissa Rosen\, Director of Training and Education\, with any questions.

SUMMARY:The Impact of Culturally Competent Cancer Care
DESCRIPTION:Attention all health care and non-profit professionals! Sharsheret’s The Impact of Culturally Competent Cancer Care is a one hour training webinar about the importance of culturally competent care for cancer patients. Not simply the politically correct thing to do\, or something kind during a difficult time\, this type of care has a proven impact on survivorship. The training explores the issues through the example of Jewish women facing breast cancer. The training includes topics such as the diversity of the Jewish community\, increased hereditary risk for Jewish women\, and cultural\, religious and spiritual issues that may impact detection\, treatment or survivorship. Woven throughout the presentation will be examples of how this information is relevant to many other communities. Participants will also learn about the free resources Sharsheret can provide to all breast and ovarian cancer patients. \nFree CE credit may be available through ASWB\, NYSW\, ANCC\, and ACCME. \nRegister here. \nContact Melissa Rosen\, Director of Training and Education\, with any questions. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Breaking Boundaries: Vaccine Breakthroughs in BRCA and Breast Cancer Prevention
DESCRIPTION:Join our medical experts along with Kristen Dahlgren\, award winning journalist and former NBC News correspondent\, for an informative and empowering discussion about the progress of breast cancer vaccines. \nRegister here. \nFor questions\, please contact Stephanie Siegel\, MSW at ssiegel@sharsheret.org. \n  \nSpeaker Bios \nKristen Dahlgren is an award winning journalist turned Breast Cancer advocate and founder of the nonprofit Cancer Vaccine Coalition. For the first 30 years of her career\, Kristen traveled the world\, documenting some of the biggest news stories of our time. She reported for NBC Nightly News and NBC’s Today show\, was nominated for an Emmy award for leading the network’s coverage of the Parkland School shooting\, served as a backup anchor for Lester Holt\, and won an Edward R. Murrow award for her feature reporting. In 2019\, she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and immediately decided to share her story to help other women to recognize the different ways their own cancers could present. Through her reporting\, Kristen also learned about the research that was happening on Breast Cancer vaccines. After a conversation with UW Cancer Vaccine Institute’s Dr. Nora Disis\, Kristen realized that vaccines for breast cancer were no longer a “Pie in the sky” idea but something that was close and achievable. She couldn’t stand by and watch anyone else suffer. CVC is partnered with the nation’s top vaccine and cancer researchers with a goal of getting a safe\, effective breast cancer vaccine to market in 5 to 10 years. CVC has one mission: to move science forward faster. To do so\, CVC works to fund trials\, streamline the process\, remove barriers to success and ensure ALL breast cancer patients are represented in trials. \nDr. Kiran Dhillon has a PhD in Genetics from the University of Washington and then studied chemotherapy resistance in BRCA1/2-associated breast and ovarian cancers at the Fred Hutch Cancer Center. She then joined the Rivkin Center as Director of Scientific Programs\, where she oversaw an international ovarian cancer research grants program\, scientific symposia\, and content for a breast and ovarian cancer education program.
