Focus On

Online Support Groups

Connecting with people who have similar experiences can be an effective way to find support and share information and resources. CancerCare Online Support Groups are moderated by professional oncology social workers, and provide a safe place to interact and share ways of coping with others who understand your particular challenges. We offer groups for people with specific diagnoses as well as for caregivers and people who have lost a loved one to cancer. Groups are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without ever having to leave your home. Register now.
