Caring for the Whole Self: Chronic Illness and Emotional Well-Being

Thursday, October 16, 6:30 pm

Living with a chronic illness such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, or arthritis can affect more than just the body—it can also significantly impact emotional well-being. Kara Buda, PhD, clinical health psychologist specializing in psychosocial oncology, will discuss why feelings such as fear, sadness, and uncertainty are common and how therapy can provide practical tools, encouragement, and strategies. Discover ways to strengthen your resilience, take an active role in your well-being, and enhance your overall quality of life while navigating the challenges of chronic illness.
