Bio:
Dr. Sophie Lebel is a clinical psychologist and a professor at the School of Psychology at the University of Ottawa. Her research focuses on cancer survivorship and psychosocial interventions. Her expertise is on managing fear of cancer recurrence (FCR). Over the past 20 years, she has been working on an FCR intervention called FORT, a group intervention for survivors that has been tested through clinical trials and is currently being culturally adapted in several countries. FORT is now available in several locations across Canada as part of standard of care. She is currently testing FORT adaptations for caregivers and parents of pediatric cancer survivors. Clinically, she works with cancer survivors and their loved ones across all phases of the disease trajectory.
