SUMMARY:ONLINE WORKSHOP: Speaking Up: Empowering Your Voice in a Room Full of White Coats
DESCRIPTION:  \n\nSpeaking Up: Empowering Your Voice in a Room Full of White Coats \nDate: Friday\, April 17\, 2026Time: 12:00pm-1:00pmLocation: Online via ZoomRSVP: Form below \n\n\n\nDistress is a universal part of the cancer journey\, affecting approximately 40% of all people with cancer. Often\, this distress is tied to the complexities of navigating healthcare systems\, insurance stability\, and financial toxicity. In this workshop\, we will move beyond the individual burden of navigation by exploring the biopsychosocial lens of cancer care. Empower your voice to navigate the healthcare system with confidence. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nRiya Athwal is a Master of Social Welfare student at UCLA specializing in Health and Mental Health Across the Life Span. Riya has an academic background in Psychology\, and is currently interning at Cancer Support Community Valley/Ventura/Santa Barbara. She is dedicated to sustaining the highest levels of care through evidence-based interventions and strategic process improvement. Her goal is to support the whole patient through a biopsychosocial lens\, advocating for interdisciplinary team collaboration to unburden individuals from the emotional\, financial\, and logistical distress of a cancer diagnosis. By integrating clinical support with health policy\, she empowers patients with the self-advocacy tools and objective resources necessary to navigate complex healthcare systems and improve their overall quality of life. \n\n\n\n\nKindly RSVP so we can plan for attendance. \n\n\nDownload the flyer here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n                \n                        \n                            4/17 Speaking Up: Empowering Your Voice in a Room Full of White Coats Registration\n                             \n                        \n                        Personal InformationName(Required)\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Email(Required)\n                            \n                        Phone(Required)How did you hear about this workshop?(Required)\n								\n								CSC Valley/Ventura/Santa Barbara’s Weekly Newsletter “Community Connect”\n							\n								\n								CSC Valley/Ventura/Santa Barbara’s Website\n							\n								\n								Social Media\n							\n								\n								Doctor’s Office\n							\n								\n								Community Center\n							\n								\n								Friend/Family\n							\n								\n								Volunteer/Staff Member\n							\n								\n								Other\n							\n								\n								Cancer Support Community South Bay\n							\n								\n								Cancer Support Community Los Angeles\n							\n								\n								Cancer Support Community Greater San Gabriel Valley\n							Additional Program InformationThe following information will ONLY be used for funding purposes and program assessment with NO identifying information.Zip Code(Required)I am a(Required)Person who has cancerPerson who had cancerSupport person/family memberBereaved person (who has lost a loved one to cancer)Healthcare professionalOtherGender Identity(Required)ManNonbinaryTransmanTranswomanWomanOtherRace/Ethnicity(Required)\n								\n								Asian/Pacific Islander\n							\n								\n								Black/African American (non-Hispanic)\n							\n								\n								Black-Hispanic\n							\n								\n								American Indian/Alaska Native/First Nations\n							\n								\n								White-Hispanic\n							\n								\n								White (non-Hispanic)\n							\n								\n								Other\n							\n          \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n        \n                        \n                        \n\n
