BECOMING YOUR OWN ADVOCATE
This issue of Avenues contains two new articles in our continuing Becoming Your Own Advocate series. The first article discusses how to talk to children about cancer diagnosis and treatment. The author, Michael Haas, MA, MFT, writes how "explaining cancer to a child is difficult and requires thoughtfulness, compassion, and some understanding of how children of different ages deal with trauma."

The second article, by Martin Rossman, MD, DipLAc, discusses the use of guided imagery – a range of techniques from simple visualization to direct imagery-based suggestion – by people with cancer. He presents three brief cases that show "how guided imagery can help people with cancer access an 'inner support system' at a time when it is most needed." Click here to read this article.

On behalf of the entire board, thank you for your continued generosity and support.

Best wishes,

Michael Broffman, LAc
Michael McCulloch, LAc, MPH
