Program Adaptations
The Cancer Transitions program is available in English (U.S.) and Spanish (U.S.). It has also been adapted to meet the needs of specific populations of people impacted by cancer. The following adaptations of the program are currently available:
- Cancer Transitions for Caregivers
- Cancer Transitions for Young Adults
- Cancer Transitions for CAR T Survivors and Caregivers
This program addresses many of the physical, social, and practical issues that caregivers and the individuals they care for face as they move into a new stage of cancer survivorship. It's designed to help caregivers improve their quality of life by focusing on lifestyle skills and habits.
This program covers core issues for young adult cancer survivors, including physical, social, emotional, and practical issues young adults may face as they navigate a new stage of their cancer experience — survivorship. Young adult survivors who wish to better manage the short- and long-term impacts of cancer, especially within the first few years after active treatment, will gain valuable skills through this program.
This program provides cancer survivors who have received CAR T Cell Therapy treatment and their cancer caregivers with the support and education needed as they transition into post-treatment survivorship.
