NO CHARGE

NO INTAKE PROCESS
JUST COME…….
CCC will be starting another 8-week Bereavement Group begining each
Thursday, February 12, 6-7:30pm through April 2nd. This is for anyone who is newly bereaved due to cancer. The group closes to new participants after the third session to ensure a clear beginning and end to the process of connecting with others who are also grieving. Led by a trained facilatator.
We now offer thirteen different support groups here at the Center! Our newest edition is the Colon Cancer Support & Networking Group. This group will meet every third Thursday of the month from 6-7:30pm. It begins this month on Feb. 19th (but you won't see it listed on our official Feb.calendar because it formed quickly!). If you know of someone who needs some support and hope, please send them our way!
