Cancer: Surviving and Thriving
Cancer: Surviving and Thriving is a 6-week workshop for cancer survivors. Are you a cancer survivor? Do you want to learn to better manage your stress and health? If you have been diagnosed with cancer in the past 5 years and have completed your cancer treatment, you are invited to take part in a free online workshop and study funded by the Stanford Cancer Center. This online workshop is designed to give you ways to make your life less stressful and more rewarding. Qualified participants will be randomly assigned to either participate in the workshop immediately or to a control group. Both groups will complete 2 online questionnaires about their health over a 12 month period. After 12 months, control participants will receive the course materials.
