Caregiver Support Conversations

Caregiver Support Conversations is an online support group that offers care partners of patients with brain tumors a welcoming space where they can have honest, supportive discussions about the feelings and emotions that accompany their experience.

Volunteer facilitator Liz Piña hosts this monthly support group for caregivers currently supporting a person living with a brain tumor to connect with each other on topics that matter to them. 

These online support group conversations are held on the first Monday of each month from 7-8 p.m. ET/4-5 p.m. PT. After you sign up with your email, you will receive a confirmation email and it will allow us to stay in touch with you. For more information, see our privacy policy.

Elizabeth Piña

Liz Piña’s husband Julio was diagnosed with ependymoma in 2018 when they were both 34 years old. In the years since, she has navigated a wide range of challenges such as career balance, fertility, researching clinical trials and treatment options, integrative medicine, changes in her husband’s physical and speech capabilities, and shifting personal relationships. She understands on a deep level the rollercoaster of being a caregiver or care partner to a patient with a brain tumor, including the unique challenges presented to adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors and caregivers. Liz has benefited greatly from her own participation in caregiver support groups, which she says have brought truly incredible humans into her life, and she’s excited to participate in facilitating that experience for others.
