Greatfully Well - Week 1: Introduction

It's Great When You're Grateful!   We are launching a special 5 week program designed to guide you into a habit of gratitude in order to enhance your well-being during and after cancer treatment.  This program is open to patients/survivors as well as caregivers. The program begins on March 1st! All participants will receive an email once a week (on Mondays, starting March 1st) with a link to the podcast interview regarding the week's topic. We will also have a "Gratitude Action Step" each week, and participants will keep a gratitude journal. This program is designed for you to do "on your own", or with a virtual group meeting once a week, on Thursday evenings at 7pm. Let us know if you have any questions! To register go to: https://cancerservicesonline.org/gratitude/ During week 1 Dr. Torelli shares about the following: What is gratitude? How can gratitude help during or after cancer treatment? What are the most important things to do when it comes to a lifestyle of gratitude? Example of how someone can reframe their perspective using gratitude.   WEEK 1 ACTION STEP: Start your gratitude journal! Prompts for this week.
