Community Call-Ins
Our Community Call-In series allows our community to ask questions of our support staff in real time, gaining new insights into various aspects of Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada’s support services network. At times, these call-ins feature guest speakers from a number of brain tumour-related areas such as therapy, medicine, and personal support. They are led by Todd Goold, Support Services Specialist and Janic Gorayeb, Senior Health Education & Engagement Specialist at Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada.
