Living With Cancer: Young Adult Patient Support Group

Description

CancerCare is offering a free, bi-weekly live support group for people in New York and New Jersey between the ages 20-39 who have been diagnosed with cancer and are receiving a form of active treatment (which may consist of surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal treatments and/or advanced cancer treatment).

Our group:

• Reduces feelings of loneliness, anxiety and distress
• Helps you learn new ways of coping
• Increases feelings of hope and empowerment
• Provides you with practical information about treatment and resources
• Helps you communicate better with your medical team and loved ones

Start Date

We are currently recruiting for our next group cycle which begins June 2023. Group accepts new members after start date. This group meets biweekly on Mondays from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. EST.

This group will utilize a secure video platform. Group members will still have the option to call in if they do not have access to video technology.
