Living with cancer often brings profound shifts in appetite, weight, and body image that require more than nutrition advice alone. Nourishing Body & Mind is an innovative 8-week virtual group co-led by an oncology dietitian and oncology social worker that integrates nutrition education, psychoeducation, and self-compassion practices to support individuals navigating these challenges.
This session will outline the structure and outcomes of the program, which combines weekly interactive classes with asynchronous tools such as guided meditations and journaling prompts. Presenters will discuss how interdisciplinary facilitation creates a supportive space for participants to process food-related struggles, rebuild self-trust, and engage in meaningful behavior change.
Drawing on participant outcomes and feedback, the session will highlight how virtual psychoeducation groups can improve emotional and physical wellbeing while expanding access, strengthening peer connection, and offering a flexible model that can be adapted for individuals with other chronic conditions.
