Coping with Cancer Support Group

Coping with life-threatening illness is a heavy burden to carry alone, so it is not surprising that one of the most helpful of many strategies associated with cancer is the help of a support group. In fact, research by Dr. David Spiegel at Stanford and others has shown that coping with the stress factors associated with cancer may not only increase peace of mind, but may also improve one’s physical condition.

Started in 1990, our Coping with Cancer Support Group provides an opportunity for persons with any stage of cancer, as well as family members or friends of someone with cancer, to come together to discuss concerns and share ideas in a safe and welcoming environment.

Meetings are facilitated by a health care professional and are held via Zoom until further notice every Monday from 4:30-5:30 pm


Private sessions with a member of our professional staff for education, basic counseling, and support are also available.

All services are provided free of charge.
