New Free Program Offers Support and Practical Tools for Cancer Caregivers in California
Caring for a loved one diagnosed with cancer can be both meaningful and overwhelming. Many caregivers find themselves juggling medical appointments, insurance paperwork, work responsibilities, parenting, and household needs — all while providing emotional support during treatment.
To help caregivers navigate these challenges, Triage Cancer has partnered with California Dialogue on Cancer to launch a free program for caregivers across California. The initiative offers education, practical tools, and personalized support designed to help caregivers feel more informed, prepared, and connected.

Participants will gain access to expert-led education, practical resources, and individualized guidance to help them better manage both the emotional and logistical aspects of caregiving.

Upcoming Webinars
These sessions provide actionable insights and resources to help caregivers manage everyday challenges while prioritizing their own well-being.
Practical Guides for Legal and Financial Questions
Participants will receive access to educational guides developed by Triage Cancer that explain common legal and financial issues that arise after a cancer diagnosis. These resources break down complex topics into clear, easy-to-understand information so caregivers can better understand their rights and make informed decisions.

Support for Families with Children
For caregivers raising children, the program also offers resources to help families stay connected and supported during a difficult time.

There are also three art activities designed specifically for children in families facing cancer.
These tools help caregivers create moments of connection and understanding for children during a challenging time.
