FA Connect | Navigating Living Losses: Understanding, Acknowledging, and Managing Change
Join Lori Krause for a workshop designed to explore and process “living losses”—non-death-related losses that arise from life transitions, changes, or unmet expectations. Examples of living losses include the loss of identity, health, relationships, careers, or abilities. Participants will gain tools to acknowledge these losses, better understand their emotional impact, and develop strategies to navigate the associated changes.
5:00- 6:30 pm Pacific Time
Spanish interpretation services are available upon request when registering for the session. Please note that while we will do our best to provide interpretation, we cannot guarantee their availability.

News & Events
FCF has committed $631,164 to three projects addressing critical gaps in FA cancer research. The work spans different stages, from exploring oral gene therapy and screening drugs for FA-specific safety to analyzing clinical experiences that could inform future care. These projects are building the knowledge needed to pursue safer cancer options for people with FA.
Living with Fanconi anemia, or caring for someone with FA, brings ongoing uncertainty, complex medical experiences and emotional strain. These experiences affect more than physical health. They can also shape mental health, relationships, daily routines and a person’s sense of safety and connection. The Fanconi Cancer Foundation is pleased to introduce the Mental Health and Wellbeing Toolkit, a new resource offering practical tools and trusted guidance for people living with FA and those who care for them.
