A Brief Video for Cancer Caregivers (an on-demand event)
Caring for a loved one with cancer—especially when movement and daily tasks become challenging—can feel overwhelming. This video offers practical, compassionate strategies to help care partners feel more confident and supported in their role.
Why does it matter?
Because when care partners have the right tools and encouragement, their loved ones experience greater comfort and less frustration. And when caregivers nurture their own well-being, they’re better equipped to provide steady, heartfelt care—without losing sight of themselves.
You are not alone
The Department of Supportive Oncology offers a wide range of informational resources and free classes—not only for patients, but also for their care partners.
Be sure to also explore Levine Cancer’s online support group for Care Partners, where you can connect with others who truly understand the challenges and emotions of caregiving. It’s a welcoming space to share, learn, and feel supported.
