A Place to Heal

The Susan G. Komen Cincinnati Affiliate office is excited to announce the beginning of a new program for breast cancer survivors.  A Time to Heal is a national, holistic rehabilitation program designed to help women regain their physical, emotional and spiritual health.  This course is for survivors who have completed surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation for a first diagnosis of breast cancer.  Small groups will meet once a week for 12 weeks and discuss information related to nutrition, regaining strength, coping, relationships, femininity, happiness and intention.  Participants will learn relaxation, journaling and gentle exercise techniques. All sessions are led by trained facilitators.

Those interested in attending this program are asked to fill out an application and participate in a placement interview conducted by Program Director, Peggy Sullivan.  Classes will be held every Wednesday, from 6:00 to 9:00 pm at A Place to Heal located inside the Susan G. Komen Cincinnati Affiliate office at Cincinnati Mills Mall in Forest Park, Ohio.  Class will not be held on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and classes end on December 7, 2011.  Regular participation is important to get the full benefit of this program. Participants need to be able to commit to attending at least 10 of the 12 sessions of A Time to Heal.  Cost of the 12 week class is free.  Applications are being taken now through August 27 for the fall program which begins on September 14, 2011.  Interested applicants may e-mail Peggy Sullivan at info@placetoheal.org, or contact Executive Director, Karyn Ganaway at 513-604-5383.
