Our support groups are a setting where patients and their family members can talk about with cancer. They do this with others on a similar journey, facilitated by a professional counsellor. It is also a time for crafts, games, camaraderie, laughter & an opportunity to just loosen up and be yourself.
What the Support Group IS…
- Safe place to share
- Place of belonging
- Place to care for others and be cared for
- Place where respect if given to each member
- Place where confidentiality is highly regarded
- Place to learn
- Place to grow and become strong again
- Place where you can ‘take off your mask’
What the Support Group IS NOT…
- Place for selfish control
- Place for therapy
- Place for secrets
- Place to rescue or be rescued by others
- Place for perfection
- Place to judge others
