These sessions would take place in your private practice office and/or via Zoom meeting. As part of the program you can choose to participate in an ongoing consultation group that meets every month on the first Wednesday of the month and professional development opportunities. This network of like-minded clinicians has become a consistent and supportive presence for our volunteer therapists, as well as in the lives we touch in the cancer care community.
