Support for Families & Caregivers
Meetings for family and caregivers are held within the same Cancer Support Group Meeting. We understand that caregivers have different needs for support than patients. If you are looking for support and prefer to talk solely with other caregivers, not patients or survivors, please let a leader know when you arrive. We will set up a separate space in the building so you can get the support you need. We are happy to adapt to the needs of all who attend. |
