Living With Cancer: A Journal Writing Support Group

Description

CancerCare is offering a free, 8-week live writing group for people ages 18+, who are diagnosed with cancer and living in New York or New Jersey and are receiving a form of active treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal treatments and/or advanced cancer treatment) or are up to 18 months post-treatment. This group will provide a dedicated space to respond to writing prompts, reflect upon and share your writing with the group and exchange support and guidance while discussing the unique challenges of living with a cancer diagnosis.

Our Groups:

• Provide cancer-focused support
• Reduces feelings of loneliness, anxiety and distress
• Help increase feelings of hope and empowerment
• Assist you in learning new ways of coping
• Help you improve communication with your medical team and loved ones
• Provide you with practical information about treatment
• Provide you with resources in your community

We are currently recruiting for our next group cycle, which begins on November 7, 2024. This support group meets weekly on Thursdays, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. ET.

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.
