Join The End Brain Cancer Initiative’s National Caregivers Self-Care Online Event on August 2nd

REDMOND, WA, UNITED STATES, July 10, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Caretaking can be incredibly demanding, often leaving caregivers with little time to care for themselves. On August 2nd, the End Brain Cancer Initiative is organizing a free online event tailored for caregivers of brain cancer patients. This event offers a unique opportunity to connect with others who truly understand the experiences and challenges of being a caregiver.

The event will feature personal stories shared by individuals who have directly cared for loved ones with brain cancer. Additionally, experts will present on crucial topics such as tools and resources for the caregiver and how to create a supportive environment at every step of the health journey. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask the questions they may have hesitated to ask before.

Guest Speaker Amanda Goodstadt serves as the Senior Staff Attorney at Triage Cancer. In her role, she focuses on the organization’s Legal & Financial Navigation Program. She also develops resources and presents educational programs on cancer-related legal issues. Before joining Triage Cancer, Amanda spent 12 years counseling seniors and caregivers about Medicare and related benefits. During her presentation, Amanda will provide important insights for caregivers, covering essential topics such as how to plan for the future.

The National Caregivers Self-Care Online Event, hosted by the End Brain Cancer Initiative, will be held on August 2nd, 2024, from 11 AM to 2 PM Pacific Time. People interested in attending this free online event can visit https://endbraincancer.org/caregiver-event-august-2024/ to register.
