Cancer and Sexuality
This group is designed to address the needs of women who have been stripped of estrogen or had sexually impacting surgery and want to
learn about new and fulfilling ways to honor their sexual selves. Call Tess if you are interested.

Kidz Count!™
This special support group is for kids who have an adult family member who has cancer and their parents.We enjoy a light meal and then break up into age appropriate groups. Children, as well as their parents, will learn the skills necessary to better cope with the challenges that occur when cancer strikes. There is fun and laughter in a supportive environment. Call Melanie for more information.

Care Givers’ Support Group
Care giving may be one of the most important roles you will undertake in your lifetime. You may have a job or are juggling several responsibilities. You may feel alone, helpless, confused, unprepared to provide for the needs of your family member or friend. Remember that old adage, “Trouble shared is
trouble halved?” A support group is one way to share your troubles. Call Melanie if interested.
