Connecting With Others
to Form a Community of Support
CancerCare's online support groups connect people coping with cancer with others who are facing a similar situation. All online support groups are led by professional oncology social workers and are password-protected.
We offer numerous online support groups, including a new Prostate Cancer Patient Support Group (supported by The Safeway Foundation) and Healing with Words, a therapeutic writing group for people currently in treatment or who have completed treatment within the last two years.
