Managing Stress and Thriving with VHL in the Family

Gary L. Wood, Psy.D., and colleagues

Orlando, Florida, June 2008

There is no written handout for this talk.

Dr. Gary L. Wood, a clinical psychologist and head of Wood and Associates and two of his colleagues share with us strategies and tactics for managing the stresses and emotional pressures that go with having an ongoing illness like VHL.

Dr. Wood himself has VHL, and has a child and a grandchild with VHL, so he understands quite keenly the pressures that affect the family.

Wood and Associates is a healthcare firm supplying employee assistance programs to corporations throughout the United States.

This presentation was given at the VHL Family Alliance conference in Orlando, Florida, June 2008.
