Navigating Cancer and Your Career Open to the Public! Whether you're job searching, currently employed, or figuring out your next steps after a cancer diagnosis, this workshop is here to support you. Join Human Resources expert Alli Rivas, SHRM-SCP, for an empowering and informative session designed to help you navigate the complex intersection of work and wellness. We’ll cover real-world questions like: Should I tell my employer I have cancer—and if so, when and how? What rights and protections do I have at work? What kinds of accommodations or schedule adjustments can I ask for? How do I handle job interviews or medical leave during treatment? You’ll walk away with practical tips, tools, and confidence to advocate for yourself, plus insights into the support systems available through your employer and the law. We’ll wrap up with an optional Q&A session, so feel free to bring your personal questions for tailored advice in a safe, understanding space. This workshop will be meeting in-person at Gilda's Club Grand Rapids and is open to both members of Gilda's Club and the general public. Registration is encouraged. Please contact Gilda's Club at info@gildasclubgr.org or call 616.453.8300 to register or learn more.
