Cancer Support Groups
As you find your way along the cancer journey, support groups can be excellent resources not only for the information they provide but for the camaraderie of spirit they offer. They can also be helpful at the end of treatment as you find yourself readjusting to “normal” everyday life again. Wherever you are on your journey our goal is to help you and your loved ones never lose sight of hope.

Through the Lens: Life Beyond Young Adult Cancer Group
Through the Lens (TTL) is a national photography and social justice movement that aims to raise public awareness about the triumphs and challenges of cancer in young adulthood. If you are a cancer patient/survivor and a young adult (diagnosed and currently between the ages of 18-39), we welcome you to join an 8-week virtual group in which you'll share the experience of life beyond cancer treatment with your peers using photographs as a medium. At the conclusion of the group there will be an option to share your photos and narratives in a local and/or national photo exhibit if you wish to do so. No artistic experience necessary!
Enrollment is limited. For questions or to register, please contact Angela McCasland, LCSW, OSW-C at 303-385-2094.
