Weekly Groups
Weekly Groups for people with cancer and/or family members are the heart of The Wellness Community's program. Adult group members of different ages and with different types of cancer come together each week to support one another. These ongoing, two-hour support groups require a commitment and are led by licensed psychotherapists.
Joining a weekly group requires attendance at a Newcomers meeting and a brief interview.
