Presentations for Prostate Cancer Support Groups

Many partners and spouses find themselves learning as they go after a prostate cancer diagnosis. Medical appointments, treatment decisions, relationship changes, and caregiving responsibilities can feel overwhelming, especially during the first months after diagnosis.

Drawing from my own caregiving experience and the resources I have developed for partners and spouses, I offer presentations designed to provide practical information, encouragement, and tools that caregivers can use immediately.

Presentations are available virtually for support groups, caregiver groups, and organizations serving individuals and families affected by prostate cancer.
