"The highest compliment you can give is
to let other cancer survivors know about us."
Our professionally led
programs are offered in a home-like setting and are available
to people with cancer, their families and friends. Based on
five core components which are woven into all aspects of our
services - Support Programs, Education, Healthy Lifestyle,
Social Connections and Resources - the Cancer Support Community Greater
Miami is here for you. All programs are FREE OF CHARGE.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
The first step to participate in our programs is to attend an Introductory Meeting. Introductory Meetings are informal drop-in sessions where people come to the Cancer Support Community Greater Miami and learn about our FREE cancer programs.
WEEKLY SUPPORT GROUPS
Ongoing, weekly support groups, led by licensed
mental health professionals are at the heart of our program.
Our groups can help you maintain hope, regain a sense of
control, and let you know that you are not alone in this time
of need. We have face-to-face and internet support groups in
English and Spanish. A brief interview is required to join
these groups. Please call 305-668-5900 to schedule an
interview.
MONTHLY
DISEASE SPECIFIC NETWORKING GROUPS
Groups for cancer patients, family
members and friends to share feelings and concerns about particular diagnoses or
issues. As is true of all the programs we offer, these
Networking Groups are led by licensed
mental health professionals.
HEALTHY
LIFESTYLE
Educational
programs which provide an opportunity to learn more about
nutrition, relaxation, exercise and other topics specific to
individuals with cancer and their caregivers.
SOCIAL PROGRAMS
Informal gatherings that offer a wonderful opportunity to meet and spend time in the company of others who are going through a cancer experience as patients, survivors or caregivers of someone with cancer.
ONLINE GROUPS
We have found that women with breast cancer who
used a real-time, professionally facilitated, Internet-based
support group successfully reduced their depression, distress
and negative reactions to pain while increasing their zest for
life and spirituality. The positive findings from this pilot
research study have led us to the development of various
online support groups (for all cancer diagnoses) available through our Online Community
