In France, one in ten people is currently caring for a close relative who has a serious illness, and nearly 40 percent of the population has supported someone with cancer in the past five years. These caregivers often work behind the scenes, providing emotional and practical support while managing their own lives. When someone is diagnosed with cancer, the impact extends beyond the individual, affecting family members, friends, and loved ones who may experience significant changes, stress, or emotional challenges that are not always easy to express. Caregivers play a crucial role in the patient’s treatment and recovery. Events like the one taking place in Nîmes aim to highlight the experiences and needs of these individuals. Discussions will focus on the caregiver’s role in the patient’s care journey, as well as the personal stories and insights shared by those who have been through similar situations. A special session on nutrition will also be held to address questions about maintaining a healthy diet during this challenging time. The event will include multiple information booths featuring various organizations and professionals who support caregivers. These include Être là, ASP Gard, Marcella, Café des aidants, Bonjour Groupe Présence 30, Fédération française d'éducation physique et gymnastique volontaire, Ligue contre le cancer, and social workers from the ICG. These groups offer resources, guidance, and community support for those navigating the challenges of caregiving. In addition to information and discussion, the event will provide opportunities for participants to take care of their own well-being. Morning sessions will include sophrology workshops, which combine relaxation techniques and breathing exercises to reduce stress. In the afternoon, participants can attend individual sessions of relaxation massage and reflexology. Full details about the event and its schedule can be found on the website chu-nimes.fr. The event will be held on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm at the Institut de Cancérologie du Gard – CHU de Nîmes.
