The workshop is called Cancer: Thriving and Surviving. It runs for six weeks, starting Tuesday, September 29, and ending November 3, 2026.
Sessions will be held every Tuesday from 1 to 3:30 p.m. The workshop will take place at MAC, located at 909 Progress Circle in Salisbury.
The program was developed by Stanford University. It is designed to give participants tools to handle the physical and emotional side of cancer.
The goal is to help people live healthier, more active lives while managing their diagnosis. Each week focuses on a different challenge that cancer patients and caregivers often face.
Topics will include sleep problems, pain, stress, and anxiety. Other sessions will cover living with uncertainty, emotions and depression, and changes to the body.
The workshop will also touch on healthy eating, exercise, and fatigue.
These are common struggles for both patients and the people caring for them.
The workshop is free, but spots are limited and registration is required. Anyone interested can contact Robin Ritchie at 410-742-0505, extension 170, or by email at rritchie@macinc.org .
