Support

We offer a variety of emotional support options for those diagnosed with any type of cancer, their caregivers, family, friends and anyone living with the loss of a loved one.

Our counseling sessions and peer-based support groups are led and facilitated by licensed mental health professionals. Support groups provide a regular time to connect with others who “get” the cancer journey. Peers can openly explore the many emotions and challenges, while providing insight and wisdom to others.

Support Groups

LIVING WITH CANCER

Living with a cancer diagnosis brings unique challenges that not everyone can truly understand. In this peer-based, weekly group, you’ll have the chance to share your emotions and experiences with others who “get” what you’re going through. For people who are in active treatment or up to 12 months post treatment.

Tuesdays: 4:00 – 5:00 pm

Thursdays: 11:30am – 12:30 pm

LIVING WITH GRIEF

Grief is a journey, as well as a process. As you work through it, there may be a time where it would help to connect with others who have lost a loved one to cancer to find an empathetic ear.

Tuesdays: 5:30-6:30 pm

LIVING BEYOND CANCER

Treatment’s over, and now you are back to normal right? We know it isn’t always that simple. In this peer-based, weekly group, you’ll have the chance to learn how to navigate your new “normal” with others who have also completed treatment.

Tuesdays: 4:00 – 5:00 pm

FRIENDS AND FAMILY

While cancer patients are often surrounded by support, families often deal with unique challenges that not everyone understands. In this weekly group, you have a supportive space where you can express your concerns, fears and, yes, even frustrations. It is open to family and friends of people with cancer.

Tuesdays: 4:00 – 5:00 pm

PREVIVOR SUPPORT

This group is for those who have had or are considering prophylactic surgeries OR have been diagnosed with a genetic mutation that increases their risk of developing cancer (includes syndromes).

1st Tuesday of the month: 5:30 – 6:30 pm

MELANATED SUPPORT

Come connect with other people of color who are navigating a cancer diagnosis. We will collaborate, support, and empower each another while discussing challenges such as bias within environments, compounding obstacles of racism, building relationships, anxiety and depression – all through the impact of cancer diagnosis.

1st Thursday of the month: 4:00-5:00 pm

HEAD & NECK NETWORKING GROUP

Head and neck cancers can come with additional obstacles, making everyday tasks like swallowing and speaking difficult. Connect and hang out with others facing similar obstacles. Group facilitated by Jen Christopher (SLP).
