Dr. Ryan Hamilton, from the Department of Psychology at UNB Fredericton will present a colloquium entitled, “There are Many Paths but None Lead Back to Normal – Hoping and Coping in the Aftermath of Cancer” on Friday, Jan. 16 at 3:30 p.m. in Keirstead Hall’s Snodgrass Lounge, Room 105. Refreshments will be served. All are welcome and encouraged to attend.

This talk will explore Dr. Hamilton’s program of research in cancer survivorship. In particular, this presentation will focus on how hoping and coping are experienced and implemented throughout the cancer care continuum, with a specific emphasis on the time period following acute treatment. This overall theme will be illustrated by drawing on examples of Dr. Hamilton’s work with young adult cancer survivors, breast cancer survivors experiencing arm morbidity, and parents of children with cancer. Finally, future directions for research and intervention will be presented.
