1. How do I support my loved one/friend with cancer?
Most individuals who are newly diagnosed with cancer are not able to state what they need most. Often, people need assistance with the basics - food (preparing meals), transportation (of children or the patient), babysitting, household chores, etc. People often will not ask for help, but do appreciate assistance. Instead of asking what you can do to help, take it upon yourself to offer assistance. But also be there to listen to the patient and provide them support during this difficult time.
2. How do you assist my employee with cancer?
Cancer Care Resources can assist your employee in many ways. We can offer direct services like counseling and social service assistance to the employee with cancer. We can also be a source of support for you as an employer and your employee in determining FMLA and accomodations in the workplace. We can also assist your other employees in coping with a colleague's cancer diagnosis.
3. What services can you provide me as an employer of a cancer patient.
CCR can assist you and your employee when dealing with a cancer diagnosis or even before a diagnosis. Our oncology trained staff can guide you and your employee through FMLA, OFLA, and disability. We can also arrange to have our counselors and oncology nurse visit your workplace to assist staff coping with a colleague's cancer diagnosis or a family member's diagnosis. Please contact us for more information or to arrange for a visit.
4. Will CCR staff members come to my work and give a presentation?
CCR staff members are happy to arrange a time to come to your workplace and give informational presentations or to offer support/resources to a workplace that has been disrupted by a cancer diagnosis. For example, our staff have gone to major corporations and held counseling and resource meetings with individuals via the HR Department. We have also gone into schools to help staff and children cope when a teacher or student has been diagnosed with cancer. Please call to schedule an appointment with the appropriate staff members.
5. How can your organization support staff members with a cancer diagnosis?
Cancer Care Resources will attempt to meet your needs by providing support and resources to the individual diagnosed and the organization as a whole. We will provide informational presentations, arrange for staff to spend a day at your organization providing support to staff members, and will offer tips to management about how to cope when a colleague has a life threatening illness.
6. How can our business support your work and the services you provide?
All services offered by Cancer Care Resources are offered free of charge to the cancer community. We depend on the generosity of donors and grant providers to operate. If you or your organization are interested in helping to support and expand the important work of Cancer Care Resources, please consider making a donation. Contact Judy, Development Director at 503-528-5236 x107 or judy@cancercareresources.org
7. How can my school cope with the impact of a cancer diagnosis of a staff member or student?
CCR is able and willing to come to your school to help staff and students cope with a cancer diagnosis. We have a Child and Family therapist, Cyndi Levine, on staff that can help guide adults in supporting themselves and the students when someone in the school community is impacted by cancer. Please consider talking with Cyndi today.
8. I have questions about FMLA, OFLA, workplace accomodations, and leave requests. Can you help me?
Cancer Care Resources has staff available to answer your questions about FMLA, OFLA and other workplace issues. Our Oregon Resources database also has information/advocacy tips around these issues. If you do not find the answer to your question in Oregon Resources and we cannot answer your question to you satisfaction, we can refer you to members of the community that will be able to answer your questions with certainty.
