Educational Programming
At the Simms/Mann UCLA Center for Integrative Oncology, we believe in empowering everyone touched by cancer — patients, caregivers and community members alike — through education. That’s why we offer new and recurring, interactive webinars throughout the year. We have a selection of free webinars that are open to everyone, as well as some that are designed for UCLA Health oncology patients.
Programs for Everyone
These webinars are free and designed for the broader public. They do not require you to be a UCLA Health patient. Some of our regular topics include:
Advance Care Planning (ACP) for Oncology Patients Community Session
An educational webinar on how to help loved ones who might struggle to make choices about your care in the event you are unable to. This session provides an introduction to care planning.
Fueling Your Body Through Breast Cancer
Learn how to fuel your body with proper nutrition while going through breast cancer.
Mind and Body Healing: The Psychiatrist's Role on the Cancer Care Team
Please join this webinar hosted by one of our staff Psychiatrists, Dr. John Horton. He will explore how cancer can affect mood, energy, and sleep and describe how a Psychiatrist may be able to help diagnose and treat these symptoms to improve quality of life during and after cancer treatment.
Face the Music and Dance: Acceptance and Self-Compassion
Michael Eselun will explore the dance between acceptance and self-compassion. If we reach for acceptance of our circumstances as a pathway to inner peace, what role does self-compassion play?
The Power of Art in Healing
This webinar offers an accessible introduction to art therapy and the role of creative expression in healing. It is designed for both patients and providers who are curious about art therapy and want a low-stakes way to learn more before joining a group or making a referral.
Programs for UCLA Health Patients
Some of our educational offerings are tailored specifically for UCLA Health oncology patients and their loved ones. These programs are free.
