Find 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 services are at no cost to those impacted by cancer.
Our short-term, cancer-related counseling sessions and support groups are led and facilitated by 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.
Find Support
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
Fridays: 11:00 – 12:00 pm
Family and Friends
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 - High Genetic Risk
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).

Ribbon Chicks
Cancer is hard enough. Being diagnosed young can come with a whole different set of challenges. Ribbon Chicks is a place for women diagnosed before age 50 to connect with others who understand, share what’s real, support one another, and remind each other that we don’t have to do this alone.

Through shared experiences, individuals gain education, validation, emotional support, and a renewed sense of empowerment. Whether you are a survivor, caregiver, family member, friend, or co-worker, this support connects you with others who have faced similar challenges—people who are willing to listen, share what helped them, and walk alongside you.
