This year’s Association of
Pediatric Oncology Social Workers topic was Exploring Sustainability: Promoting
Pediatric Oncology Social Work in the Changing Healthcare Environment.
12 posters were selected for
the conference – during the two hours poster presentation many people stopped
by and were impressed with our work and the idea of a Legacy Gift, saying that they have many
patients whose family could benefit from leaving such a gift. Attendees had a lot
of great questions and many asked for further information or planned to check our www.ccurefast.org website for more information on guidelines/how to’s and our
handouts. Melissa Hill of the Northwest Sarcoma Foundation joined in the poster presentation of our joint work.
Other topics of
discussion/workshops were:
Sustaining Ourselves: Healing
Ourselves While Healing Others
The CARES Program: Utilizing the Community to Increase
Sustainability of Patients and Families
Social Skill Training For Adolescent and Young Adult Brain
Tumor Survivors
Establishing Skill Sets: Staying the Course When Faced
With Pediatric End of Life Challenges
