End Brain Cancer Initiative sets free caregiver webinar for Nov. 6

The End Brain Cancer Initiative will host a free online caregiver education event on Nov. 6, 2026, focused on helping families manage cognitive changes in loved ones with brain cancer or brain tumors. The webinar features clinical neuropsychologist Dr. Jennifer Nosker and aims to give caregivers practical tools, resources and support.

Why it matters: - Caregivers of people with brain tumors often need practical help for memory, cognition and day-to-day care challenges. - The free webinar is designed to give families tools that may improve daily functioning and quality of life. - The event also connects caregivers with others facing similar experiences, which can reduce isolation.

What happened: - The End Brain Cancer Initiative opened registration for the Caregivers Self-Care and Tools online educational event. - The webinar is scheduled for Nov. 6, 2026, at 11 a.m. Pacific Time. - The event is free to attend. - Registration is available through the event page.

The details: - Dr. Jennifer Nosker will serve as keynote speaker. - Nosker is a clinical neuropsychologist and scientist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. - Nosker is also an instructor in neurology at Harvard Medical School. - Nosker runs two clinics at the Center for Brain Mind Medicine. - Her main focus is patients with primary and secondary brain tumors. - Nosker will explain the different types of cognitive changes that can occur in brain tumor patients. - Nosker will also share practical tools for caregivers, including memory compensatory strategies. - The webinar is intended to help caregivers normalize cognitive difficulties while supporting daily functioning. - Patient disease education support and sponsorship comes from Novocure, Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, CoeurCryo and Great Purpose Productions.

Between the lines: - The event reflects a broader push to treat caregiver education as part of patient support, not an afterthought. - The focus on cognition suggests the webinar is aimed at a common but often under-addressed issue in brain cancer care. - EBCI is using the event to reinforce its role as an advocacy group that links patients, caregivers, clinicians and industry partners.
