Support Groups

Living with Cancer

The Living with Cancer Support Group is a growing community of those who understand the challenges faced by cancer survivors, their families, and their friends. A Cancer Survivor is anyone who has ever received a diagnosis of cancer. The group is an ongoing "drop in" support group and is offered twice a month.

Meet with American Cancer Society Volunteer beauty professionals in a small group, (usually consisting of 3 to 8 women), through practical, hands on experience. Women learn about makeup techniques, skincare, nail care, and options related to hair loss such as wigs, turbans, and scarves. Each group program participant receives a free kit of cosmetics for use during and after the workshop.
