Counselling for Caregivers

A cancer diagnosis can be difficult to process, and learning to handle what it comes with is not a part of the traditional healthcare system. To meet the needs of our Caregiver Members, we are offering virtual counselling on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month to discuss and create strategies that can provide relief and assistance to those caring for their loved ones.

Join a group of strong, resilient individuals who have lived with cancer or supported a loved one in their cancer journey and support each other as you continue living your life.
Women’s Cancer Support Group
2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month at 4:30pm.
This group is an opportunity for women who are fighting cancer or still dealing with the mental and emotional impact of their past battle with cancer to connect with others and build strength, skills, and resiliency.
Men’s Cancer Support Group
2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month at 4:30pm.
This support group is open to all men dealing with cancer and is especially appropriate for those currently fighting or who recently finished treatment. The group works to address the mental and emotional challenges faced by men through the cancer journey and works to build new skills and strategies to manage life moving forward following a cancer diagnosis.
