Please join us for a joint Next Step/CBTF Virtual Campference just for you!

This three-day virtual event will provide workshops to gain confidence in your sense of self, learn positive self-talk, and explore concrete skills to apply on a daily basis.

If you are interested in community engagement and are willing to step into your stretch-zone, we hope to provide you with tools to speak up for yourself, advocate for your own needs, and connect with other brain/spinal tumor survivors who get it.

Let’s get together for some fun and learning!

We might send care packages out and need to know of any known allergies.

At virtual campference, we like to create a safe space for "real conversations". The following questions will help us support you in that space.
Do you have a past history of experiencing challenges with managing your emotions during high stress or emotionally difficult times?
If yes, can you describe what that looks like/consists of for you (shutting down, self-harm, drinking, smoking, violence, etc.)
When you start to feel these intense emotions, what healthy strategies do you find are helpful for dealing with those?
