Cancer & Careers Midwest Conference

Cancer and Careers' Midwest Conference on Work & Cancer
March 26, 2021 | 9 AM - 4 PM CT

This free, daylong webinar explores the complexities of balancing treatment and recovery with employment.

Session Highlights:

Disclosure, Privacy & Online Brand

Do you have to disclose your diagnosis to your employer? Are there laws that protect you in the workplace? We will address all this and more, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), practical ways to protect your privacy and how to manage your “online brand.”

Working Through Treatment
There are many things to consider when working through treatment — from sharing the news of your diagnosis at work to dealing with treatment side effects. This session will arm you with practical tips, communication strategies, an understanding of the ADA’s reasonable accommodations and more.

Returning to Work
Are you returning to a prior job or looking for a new one? We'll discuss how to decide when/how to return to work after a cancer diagnosis/treatment, effective job search strategies and FMLA and ADA return to work requirements.
