support groups

female support group

This is an opportunity to meet up with other women living with cancer. “The Support Group has helped me to meet other women in the same position as myself. We were able to chat about our circumstances and get support from each other.”   

Helping to connect with other women who have been through a similar diagnosis can be helpful and supportive. The group is a chance to talk openly and safely about your fears, worries and concerns with other women facing a cancer diagnosis.

bereavement support group

The loss of a loved one is life’s most stressful event and can cause major emotional crisis. 

After the death of someone you love and cherish, you will experience a whole range of emotions, even when the death is expected.  There is no right or wrong way to grieve – but there are positive and healthy ways to cope with your loss.  Your feelings are normal and are very common reactions when someone close passes away.
