Programs: Weekly Support Groups

The Wellness Community offers two types of weekly support groups: one for people with cancer and the other for a primary caregiver of the person with cancer. All weekly support groups are facilitated by licensed psychotherapists and are an effective way to receive support from others at The Wellness Community who share similar experiences. Groups meet weekly for two hours, and require an interview prior to joining.

"We have cried and laughed together, mourned loss and applauded growth.  As horrible... as having cancer is, I am a better person for... the extraordinary persons in my group." - Participant, The Wellness Community.

PARTICIPANT SUPPORT GROUPS
are ongoing and led by licensed psychotherapists. Groups meet weekly for two hours, and require an interview prior to joining. People 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.
