We are dedicated to supporting our pancreatic cancer community, particularly as we all try to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. We have launched a series of free webinars to provide virtual patient support and resources for our community. We are pleased to share information about the second in our series which took place on Friday, April 17th.

During this time of uncertainty, stress levels can sky rocket. It is critical, especially for pancreatic cancer patients and their caregivers, to find tools to manage stress and find balance. Emotional well-being is a critical piece of the healing process, so now, more than ever, it is essential to have coping skills. We turned to Elizabeth Cleary, PhD, Licensed Clinical Psychologist at the Simms/Mann UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology, to lead an interactive webinar, Coping Skills for the Pancreatic Cancer Community: Tools and Tips During COVID-19.
