Blum Center Program: Cancer Genetic Testing – Strategies to Manage Stress and Increase Resilience

Knowing that you have an increased chance to develop hereditary cancer (cancer that runs in families) or deciding whether to have genetic testing for hereditary cancer can be stressful. In this presentation from January 8, 2021, Dr. April Hirschberg discusses how stress awareness, healthy lifestyle behaviors, and mind-body interventions can promote your wellbeing. She also introduces programs that are designed to help unaffected carriers - people who have been identified to have an increased cancer risk but have not been diagnosed.
