Coping with holiday blues focus of St. Francis Cancer Center workshop

INDIANAPOLIS – Even during the proverbial “most wonderful time of the year,” anxiety and depression can slump over those whose lives have been affected by cancer.

That’s why the St. Francis Cancer Center and Cancer Support Community are offering a special workshop to discuss positive ways to handle stress during the holidays. Counselor Karen Better will lead the event, which is free for adults with cancer, their loved ones, or who have lost someone to the disease.

The workshop is 6 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 9, at St. Francis Hospital-Indianapolis, 8111 S. Emerson Ave. Participants should enter at the Women and Children’s entrance and go the fourth floor Atrium.

To register, call 317-782-7794.
