Cancer diagnosis brings with it a world of testing and treatments, as well as heavy emotional and physical demands. At times, these elements can seem overwhelming, but they don’t have to be. Mount Auburn Hospital recognizes these difficulties and has developed its Mind/Body Medicine Program to help patients maintain good mental and emotional health through their treatment and recovery. This summer, the hospital is pleased to present the Living with Cancer workshop, an eight-week group focused on reducing stress and promoting resilience. Participants will be introduced to relaxation techniques, meditation, spirituality, yoga, Tai chi, and nutrition. Unlike most other therapies, these techniques can be learned and practiced independently to foster the mind-body connection and ease the process.
WHEN: Every Tuesday for 8 weeks from 4:30-6pm starting on July 5 , 2016.
WHERE: Mount Auburn Hospital
330 Mount Auburn Street
Cambridge, MA 02138
COST: This course is free to patients. Registration is required for this class. To enroll, contact Meredith Hobson, LICSW, at 617-499-5665, ext. 4664
