CLINICIAN & EDUCATOR SUPPORT
OUR ADVOCACY EFFORTS
→ 13thirty is a complementary, vital resource outside of the hospital that provides relief from the psychosocial challenges of AYA cancer.
Let’s Work Together!
To 13thirty Cancer Connect, advocacy is a dedication to improved service delivery to AYAs living with cancer. Our efforts in improving service delivery include workshops and special presentations available for two main groups who support our AYAs – healthcare providers and educators.

Special Presentations
Our in-school presentations help educators understand how to best support students while they are absent and when returning to school. Presentations are also available to make students aware of cancer risk factors and how to support a peer with cancer.
We value the support educators give our AYAs as they transition from school to treatment and back to school and look. AYAs often experience devastating isolation and loss of peer support. Diminished self-image and self-esteem can make returning to school difficult. Classmates and friends are unsure how to be supportive.
Let’s collaborate! Our Community Engagement Manager, Michaela Deeg, is ready to tell her story as an AYA survivor and how 13thirty can make a difference for your students: michaela@13thirty.org
Clinician Workshops
We value the support healthcare providers give our AYAs during treatment and want to continue to stay connected. Our workshops help healthcare providers better understand the unique challenges of AYAs cancer, including delayed diagnosis and on-going medical issues.
Clinician workshops are led by our Program Director, Katelyn MacDougall, MSW, LCSW. For more information on our upcoming workshops, email katelyn@13thirty.org.
