Living Beyond Cancer: Young Adult Post-Treatment Survivorship Support Group
New York: Video
Treatment is over; now what? Often, the emotional impact of a cancer diagnosis doesn’t really hit home until you have completed treatment. The opportunity to connect with others can make the transition into live after cancer easier to navigate.
Description
CancerCare is offering a free, 8-week biweekly live support group for people in New York in their 20s and 30s who have completed treatment within the last 18 months. This group will provide a safe place to exchange support, get information and receive guidance while discussing the unique challenges of living through post-treatment survivorship.
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
