This week we wanted to share some resources with you for a tough topic. Studies suggest that we don't talk about mental health as much as we should, especially during something as taxing as cancer treatment. So we got some tips from the CDC to help you talk about your needs. You can learn more on the CDC's website:https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/survivors/index.htmIf you're enjoying our show, please consider making a tax-deductible donation to keep us on the air at:http://www.reneecfrink.org/And don't forget to follow us on Twitter @finding_podcastSources: Provider Education for Mental Health Care of Cancer Survivors (P-EMHCCS) Training(https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/survivors/health-care-providers/mental-health-care-prov-ed.htm)CDC offers a list of free and confidential resources that can help patients and their caregivers connect with skilled, trained counselors (https://www.cdc.gov/mentalhealth/tools-resources/individuals/index.htm)Additional information and post-treatment resources can be obtained from the Cancer Survivorship Resource Center (https://www.cancer.org/health-care-professionals/national-cancer-survivorship-resource-center.html)
