COURSE DESCRIPTION

Your patient, their caregivers, partners, friends and family can also benefit from our services as cancer affects everyone involved, causing many immediate life changes. Our Women’s Cancer & Illness focus course touches on reclaiming your wants, needs and desires in life, while focusing on all of the mental, physical, emotional and intimate aspects of life, as you maintain your health care. Women’s Cancer & Illness Focus gives advice and information on aspects of life after breast, uterine, colorectal, cervical, ovarian and other types of cancer geared towards the female gender.

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.
