Fighting Cancer Together:
On-going, professionally facilitated support groups for people with cancer and/or support persons are the heart of our program. Support groups have been shown to decrease distress and improve quality of life. Adult group members of different ages and with different types of cancer come together each week to get support and learn from each other. Family members, significant others and/or caregivers can explore new ways to support a loved one while also supporting themselves.
Cancer Patient Participant Support Groups
Weekly groups, facilitated by a licensed therapist, offer people with cancer an opportunity to share thoughts, feelings and information. Together, people with cancer experience warmth, understanding, support and explore new ways to deal with the stress cancer often brings.
Thank you to Ortho Biotech for sponsoring our Tuesday evening participant support group!
Family/Caregiver Support Groups
Weekly groups, facilitated by a licensed therapist, offer those supporting a person with cancer the opportunity to learn new ways to deal with their individual stress and concerns, and also new ways to support their loved ones living with cancer.
**Attendance at a Newcomers Orientation and a brief group preparation interview are necessary before joining a weekly group.
For more information on joining a support group, please call Pat McGettigan, Program Director, at 610.861.7555.
