SUMMARY:Death Café
DESCRIPTION:While the name Death Café may seem unsettling\, its true purpose quite the opposite. Death Café aims to create a safe and respectful space where the sometimes-uncomfortable topic of death and dying can be explored through open\, honest conversation. The goal is to encourage meaningful conversations about mortality and to celebrate the richness of our finite lives. \nDeath Café takes place all over the world\, and helps encourage conversations about death\, and empowering people to express their own wishes for end-of-life. The open-ended discussions provide an avenue to express thoughts about one’s own life stirred up by the death of a family member… or a breast or gynecologic cancer diagnosis. \nWhat is Death Café?\nDeath Café provides an open\, confidential\, respectful\, and safe space to discuss thoughts\, feelings\, and concerns about death and dying. The format is flexible\, lightweight\, and straightforward. Conversations are facilitated. \nWhat isn’t part of Death Café? \nDeath Café is not a bereavement support or grief counseling setting. Death Café doesn’t work for people who\, for whatever reason\, aren’t able to discuss death comfortably and openly. Death Café isn’t an opportunity to give people information about death and dying – regardless of how good or important it is. Rather\, we create time to discuss death without expectations. \nTo learn more or to register please email Yvonne@bccr.org.

SUMMARY:Everyday Home Exposures and Cancer
DESCRIPTION:Everyday Home Exposures and Cancer\, presented by Katrina Korfmacher\, PhD\, and Becca Lauzon\, PhD\nRegister here.\nA cancer diagnosis often brings urgent questions. What might have caused it? How can I reduce my risk moving forward? While there are no simple answers\, researchers continue to uncover how our surroundings—from the air we breathe to the products we use—may impact our health. \nJoin us on April 22 for a clear\, accessible conversation about environmental exposures in the home with local researchers Katrina Korfmacher\, PhD\, and Becca Lauzon\, PhD. While sharing recent research in Rochester homes\, they will discuss common home exposures and what we know and don’t know about effects on health and cancer development. \nThis session is designed for patients\, families\, caregivers\, healthcare providers\, and anyone else interested in gaining greater understanding of the complex relationship between our home and our health. Join us to learn what we can do individually and as communities to support healthier environments. \nEach webinar will include an ASL interpreter provided by Interpretek. Join us to learn\, ask questions\, and leave feeling empowered to take charge of your health journey.
