GOCA Community Outreach Awareness.Knowledge.Action
GOCA continues to expand its efforts in community outreach and mission of awareness and education! We are pleased to announce that we have added videos to the Media Library under the following Directories: Family and Caregivers, and Speaking from Experience!
These videos provide content and a frame of reference that are not readily available to those patients and families living with cancer. We are proud to be able to bring them to you. GOCA wishes to thank all those who gave of their time, knowledge and participation to this project.
GOCA now has a very compelling story to tell with the Media Library concept of Community Outreach and will actively look to open communications with strategic corporate and medical partners that can sponsor our efforts.
FAMILY AND CAREGIVERS DIRECTORY
The videos in this directory will focus on both physical and emotional intimacy issues from the patient and husband/partner viewpoints, as well as the changing dynamics of the family when a member is diagnosed with cancer. Topics include understanding the emotions and expectations of the patient, taking on the role of caregiver, the impact on children, the impact of changing dynamics on self image, family and marriage; and the emotions and expectations of extended family and support network.
SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE
This directory contains various topics discussed with experts in the fields of oncology, psychological and oncology social work, survivors and family members. Topics include dealing with reoccurrence, the initial reaction to dealing with a cancer diagnosis, a woman's changing sense of self image, and integrating a cancer diagnosis into your life.
GOCA wishes to extend thanks and gratitude to Tom Burke, director, cameraman and film editor extraordinaire without whom the Media Library would not have gotten off the ground. Tom has been instrumental in this program and on behalf of everyone who has had the opportunity to view these videos and be a part of this project, we say THANKS!
