KESA 64 - The Mind-Body Connection in Cancer Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery
About This Event
Cancer affects more than just the physical body; it can have profound psychological and emotional consequences for individuals and their families. While cancer prevention, treatment, and recovery often focus on physical health, the importance of psychological well-being throughout the cancer journey deserves equal attention.
Cancer affects more than just the physical body; it can have profound psychological and emotional consequences for individuals and their families. While cancer prevention, treatment, and recovery often focus on physical health, the importance of psychological well-being throughout the cancer journey deserves equal attention.
Recognising the interconnectedness of physical and mental health is essential to a more comprehensive approach to cancer care. Psychological well-being, emotional resilience, stress management, social support, and healthy lifestyle practices are important considerations alongside medical treatment and physical rehabilitation.
On the occasion of National Cancer Awareness Day, this webinar aims to bring together perspectives from oncology and psycho-oncology to highlight the importance of addressing both the mind and body in cancer prevention, treatment, and recovery.
Objectives
To create awareness about the relationship between physical and psychological well-being in the context of cancer.
● To explore the role of healthy lifestyle practices and physical fitness in cancer risk reduction and overall health.
● To understand the psychological and emotional challenges experienced by individuals diagnosed with cancer and their caregivers.
● To highlight the role of psychological support and psycho-oncological interventions during treatment and recovery.
● To encourage a more holistic, person-centred approach to cancer care through collaboration between healthcare professionals, psychologists, fitness professionals, and support networks.
Intended Audience
The webinar is intended for psychologists, mental health professionals, personal trainers and fitness professionals, individuals with lived experience of cancer, caregivers of people living with cancer, and anyone interested in understanding the relationship between physical and psychological well-being in cancer care.
Expected Outcome
The webinar seeks to foster greater awareness of the mind-body connection in cancer care and encourage individuals and professionals to recognise psychological well-being as an integral component of prevention, treatment, and recovery. It also hopes to strengthen interdisciplinary conversations and promote more compassionate, comprehensive, and accessible approaches to supporting people affected by cancer.

What Participants Say
It was an insightful session
The session went really smooth. The session felt like it ended soon. The session was explained in a really simplest way but it also made us feel the importance of the topic and it's discussion. It was my second time attending to Dr. Sheedh's class. He is so knowledgeable and humble. Ma'am did the session well too. Psycho oncologist roles were explained good. They both cleared the doubts too. Overall the session was insightful.

The session was exceptionally insightful and well-structured. The exploration of physical and psychological well-being provided immense value. Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Mohamed Sheedh and Henna K Seethi for their deep expertise, engaging presentation styles, and compassionate approach toward psycho-oncological support and lifestyle practices. The discussion on addressing emotional challenges for patients and caregivers was particularly touching and timely, aligning perfectly with National Cancer Awareness objectives.

Very good session
Very nice, useful, next time please use english as a medium language as there are many other state people also participating, thank you
Both presentations were highly informative and engaging. The topics were explained in a very clear, simple, and understandable manner, making the overall experience extremely satisfying. They helped me gain more knowledge and a deeper understanding of the field, which also increased my interest and enthusiasm towards it.
Perhaps due to time constraints, one or two of the questions I asked were left unanswered. Although those questions were not directly related to the main topic, they were slightly connected, and I was hoping to get some clarification.
Apart from that, everything was really wonderful. Overall, it was an excellent and enriching learning experience.

Insightful
Goood information
The sessions were excellent, but the duration was too short to fully explore the topics. Both the doctor and the Psycho-Oncologist could have shared much more valuable insight had there been sufficient time.
I would recommend allocating at least one hour to each faculty member to ensure a more meaningful and enriching learning experience.
Good experience
It was a much-needed and timely program. We look forward to more initiatives like this.
