Palliative Care — Together We Are Not Alone: Oncology and Palliative Support Groups

January 12, 2022 @ 8:00 am - 9:00 am

CCSP/Palliative Care Grand Rounds

 

Welcome to CCSP/Palliative Care Grand Rounds

The Palliative Care and Comprehensive Cancer Support Programs (CCSP) co-organize weekly presentations on the care of seriously ill patients and their families, including individuals living with cancer, relevant to interdisciplinary clinicians. Individual topics address pain and symptom management, communication approaches with patients and families, strategies to facilitate coping and support, quality improvement and research in these disciplines.

 

January 12

Julia Rodriguez-O’Donnell, LCSW, OSW-C

Together We Are Not Alone: Oncology and Palliative Support Groups

 

Bio:

Julia is a clinical social worker who has been facilitating support groups of all kinds during her 30 years of practice with domestic violence and abuse survivors, high school students struggling with alcohol and drug abuse, people transitioning their gender identity, adults going through break-ups, individuals coping with depression and anxiety, sufferers of chronic pain, and most recently cancer patients and their caregivers.
She has been working for the past two years on launching video support groups for UNC patients with cancer, and is still trying to find the right mix of support group name recognition, content appeal, and system-wide enthusiasm for them to really take off!
Outside of work she shuttles around her busy teenagers, plays guitar, and remodels her 70’s ranch home one new power tool at a time.
