COURSE DESCRIPTION
Our Reclaiming Life: Men’s Cancer & Illness Focus course gives men going through any kind of cancer or illness a resource for factual, important information, meeting like-minded, like-diagnosed individuals, and educates on how to empower themselves to reclaim their wants, needs and desires from life, including all aspects of intimacy. Your patient’s caregivers and support systems can also benefit from this class by being educated about their cancer, and how to deal with the side effects from their treatments in a holistic, whole-body approach to healing. Men’s Cancer & Illness Focus gives advice and information on aspects of life after prostate, testicular, colorectal, urethral, bladder and other types of cancers and illnesses geared towards the male gender. Learning self-care can be a challenging process that takes time, effort, and patience within their lives. To reclaim their lives, their physical and mental being, as well as their intimacy needs is a much-needed journey for anyone facing down the likes of cancer.

RECLAIMING INTIMACY’S RESOURCE LIBRARY
In addition to course materials, students have access to Reclaiming Intimacy’s Resource Library. This is a free resource designed help you find answers to your questions while providing tools to help better understand a cancer diagnosis. Our goal is to help anyone touched by cancer with find critical information, become well-informed, and instill a sense of comfort & control through every phase of treatment. Cancer can be overwhelming so removing the “unknown” is important to mentally preparing for treatment.
By addressing cancer’s effect on the sexual self, we reframe the conversation to focus forward rather than comparing the past. By removing change as a negative, we remove the feelings of shame, isolation, and silent suffering. Reclaiming Intimacy Through Hope Resource Library is a place to learn, grow, gain empowerment by getting the facts. Know what to expect from your cancer & treatment plan so you can develop effective strategies with those accompanying you on the cancer journey.
