Following a cancer diagnosis, there are many factors patients, their families, and caregivers must manage, including treatment decisions and rearranging family or work obligations. During this journey, it can be difficult for patients and their loved ones to prioritize their responsibilities as well as review the legal and financial questions that can and should be addressed. Thoughtfully planning for themselves and their loved ones allows those impacted by cancer to create a sense of relief, and hope, around those unanswered questions.

The Purpose in Planning Coping Circle Series will address these issues by providing both educational information on finances and planning as well as emotional guidance to people affected by cancer.

The Purpose in Planning Coping Circle Series is a three-part series. If you are unable to attend all three sessions, you are still able to sign up. Please provide your preferred mailing address at registration; resources will be mailed to you if you are accepted into the program. Space is limited and registration will be capped at 50 people. You will receive an email regarding your registration status before the series begins.

This session will provide information about how individuals who need to take time off of work, or who can no longer work can replace income. It will also cover practical tips to deal with out-of-pocket medical expenses, general financial wellness tips, and sources of financial assistance. Because dealing with finances can be emotional, we will provide tips for dealing with difficult conversations, and where to find support if needed.

This webinar will explore the basics of estate planning, including the various documents that can make up an estate plan, what to consider when beginning the process of creating a plan, and how to set up a Power of Attorney for Financial Affairs.

There will also be a workshop component on completing a simple will and Power of Attorney for Financial Affairs.
