To learn more about the variety of support and educational programs offered free of charge, adults with cancer, family members and friends are invited to join us for a one-hour overview of our services led by a cancer survivor.
Weekly
Support Groups
Ongoing groups for people with cancer and/or primary caregivers are the heart of our program. All weekly groups are led by a licensed psychotherapist and require an interview prior to joining.
In our Participant Groups, adults with cancer offer support to one another, explore new ways of dealing with the stresses of cancer and learn techniques to become partners with their health care team.
Our Family Groups offers the primary caregiver of a person with cancer an avenue to explore ways of supporting a loved one in their fight for recovery, while getting some much needed personal support.
Networking
Groups

to share feelings and concerns about particular
diagnoses or issues. Networking groups are led by
licensed psychotherapists.
