Young Adult Caregiver — Spouses/Partners Support Group
Our young adult caregiver spouses and partners support group provides a safe space to connect with others. This group is led by an oncology social worker who provides emotional and practical support.
Connect with others in our free, 15-week online support group for people ages 20-39 who have a spouse or partner diagnosed with cancer. In this group led by an oncology social worker, people can share their personal experiences, ways of coping and helpful resources. Online support groups take place using a password-protected message board format (not live chat or video conference).
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 loved ones
To join this group, you will need to complete our online registration process. After joining this password-protected group, you can read and post messages 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
At this time, CancerCare’s online support groups are only available to people residing within the United States (including Puerto Rico and U.S. territories).

From Our Group Members
"It was a very validating experience of people being open and sharing their story and ways of coping. I think it made a world of a difference knowing that others although different experiences shared common things about cancer and coping." –Mary Beth
“I realized that I'm not alone, and that we all have similar emotions and our emotions matter even if we aren't the ones with cancer. This group helped me see that.” –Laura
