Why Join a Support Group?

All support programs are facilitated by licensed professionals. Prior to being assigned to a Support Group, individuals meet with our Program Director.

Participant Groups

We provide weekly support groups facilitated by licensed and experienced psychotherapists.  These groups offer a safe place to share thoughts, feelings and information.  People with cancer meet with others diagnosed with cancer; family members and friends meet with others who are caring for a person with cancer.  Together, people on the same journey experience caring, understanding and support.  They are able to explore new ways to deal with the stress that cancer often brings.
