Join us for the first webinar in the YARN #QualityofLife series!

Together, we will explore one of the most important topics in cancer care: how to communicate effectively about late effects.

Our panel consisting of healthcare professionals, researchers and people with lived experience will discuss questions such as:

  • What are the key do’s and don’ts when discussing late effects?
  • How can healthcare professionals offer clear information, set realistic expectations, and provide meaningful support?
  • How can people with lived experience and caregivers advocate for themselves and ensure they receive the information they need about (potential) late effects?

This webinar is designed for people with lived experience, healthcare professionals, families and everyone interested in improving the conversations around late effects.

You will walk away with hands-on tips, useful resources, and practical guidance to help you communicate clearly and confidently about late effects.

YARN #QualityofLife Webinars

Learn. Connect. Empower.

Living with or after cancer as a child, adolescent, or young adult (CAYA) comes with unique challenges. This webinar series is all about educating and increasing awareness about the quality of life of CAYA cancer patients and survivors.

Together, we’ll explore key topics such as late effects, mental health, psychosocial care, transition to adult care, and long-term follow-up (LTFU) care.

Our goal is to share knowledge and resources, raise awareness, and create a space for open, interactive exchange among everyone involved – survivors, caregivers, families, healthcare professionals, and anyone who wants to make a difference.

Join us to learn from experts and discover how we can all work together to support better lives beyond cancer.

Because quality of life matters – at every step of the CAYA cancer pathway.
