Workshop Overview

Managing Cancer and Living Meaningfully (CALM) is a brief, semi-structured, evidence-based intervention designed to help people with advanced and metasatic cancer, and their close loved ones, manage the practical and profound problems associated with advanced disease.

Developed by Gary Rodin MD and Sarah Hales MD PhD at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, Canada, CALM focuses on four content domains that address the practical and profound issues commonly faced by individuals with advanced and metastatic cancer.

This year’s workshop explores CALM-TF, a trauma-focused psychotherapy intervention to support individuals living with advanced cancer, including critical and potentially traumatic junctures in the disease trajectory.

Learners will also be introduced to the core principles and framework of CALM, making this workshop suitable both for those interested in trauma-focused adaptations and for those seeking a foundational understanding of the CALM approach. Offered in a hybrid format (in-person and virtual), the workshop will bring the CALM community together for a meaningful opportunity to connect, collaborate, and share knowledge.

Learning Objectives

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the core principles and framework of CALM.
  • Understand the rationale, theoretical foundations and clinical application of CALM-TF.
  • Explain the CALM-TF process through videotaped sessions.
  • Apply CALM-TF principles to clinical practice.
