Mental Fitness Throughout the Transplant Journey \u2013 Final Webinar<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are concluding our\u00a0<\/span>Functional Resilience\u00a0webinar\u00a0series<\/span><\/b>\u00a0with a conversation on\u00a0<\/span>Mental Fitness Throughout the Transplant Journey: Conversations, Tools, and Resources<\/span><\/b>. Join us on October 1, 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM EST, <\/strong>for a 90-minute interactive webinar exploring the emotional and psychological dimensions of the transplant journey through <\/span>lived experience, therapeutic conversation, practical strategies, and resources<\/span><\/b>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Charles Cook<\/span><\/b>, a two-time deceased donor transplant recipient who received a heart transplant in 2016 and a kidney transplant in 2017, will share his personal transplant journey and the lessons he has learned along the way. His experiences will provide a lived-experience perspective on themes including uncertainty, isolation and connection, caregiving, trauma, survivor and donor guilt, resilience, and finding meaning after transplant.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Amy Haertel, MSW, RSW<\/span><\/b>, is a Registered Social Worker and Child and Youth Worker with more than 20 years of experience supporting individuals and families through life\u2019s challenges. Her clinical practice specializes in trauma, chronic illness, medical trauma, and the emotional impact of organ transplantation. Amy will guide the conversation and introduce practical mental-fitness strategies that participants can use throughout the transplant journey.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than a traditional slide presentation, this\u00a0webinar\u00a0will take the form of a\u00a0<\/span>guided conversation<\/span><\/b>, using Charles\u2019s story to explore the emotional experiences that can\u00a0accompany\u00a0transplant and practical ways to navigate them. Participants will be introduced to tools focused on safety and regulation, connection and support, emotional awareness, resilience, and post-traumatic growth.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We invite\u00a0<\/span>patients, family caregivers, clinicians, researchers, and members of the transplant community<\/span><\/b>\u00a0to join us for this final session as we explore how mental fitness can support people not only in surviving the transplant journey, but in moving toward connection, resilience, and meaningful living.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
