SUPPORT

Social isolation can be difficult for anyone, especially those who have been affected by cancer.  Cancer Support Community Atlanta offers a variety of support groups to meet your needs.  You will find groups that meet weekly or monthly.  Each is designed to provide you and your caregivers with encouragement, support and hope.  And all groups are offered in person, with the option of also attending virtually through a hybrid platform. 

To participate in this support group, please email supportgroups@cscatlanta.org. Someone from our Program Team will be in contact with you to complete our support group orientation. Check out our Calendar for days and times.
