Look around you. Do you know any family who hasn't been touched by cancer?
Today, almost everyone knows someone with cancer - a family member, friend, coworker, neighbor ... maybe even yourself. Often, though, people don't know what to say to someone with cancer, what will be helpful, what a person's really going through who's received a diagnosis. They don't really understand what cancer is, the causes, the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual battles a person undergoes nor what is needed to impart hope and encouragement.
Training is available through Our Journey of Hope, the spiritual outreach program of Cancer Treatment Centers of America®. Participants will learn how to effectively provide practical support to cancer patients and their families, including:
- The importance of faith to health and of reaching out to cancer patients and their families
- What cancer is and isn't
- Spiritual preparation and dos and don'ts of hospital visitation
- Special needs of cancer patients and creative ways to minister
- Prevention information
- Practical ministry and communication exercises
