There is strong evidence that support groups can help people cope with cancer, improve quality of life, and – according to some studies – even increase survival. Carewell’s self-help groups offer participants a safe and respectful opportunity to come together and support one another. Persons with cancer, as well their loved ones, belong to their own distinct support groups so that they can learn and experience how best to live with cancer, either as a survivor or as a caregiver. Support groups typically meet once a week for one hour and a half. They convene at Carewell, at hospitals, and at other venues convenient to the group members. Carewell has made arrangements with the Greenhills Christian Fellowship for our members to participate in their GriefShare program - a structured set of group activities that help participants deal with the loss of a loved one. We have also partnered with Contemplative Outreach Philippines to give our members access to Centering Prayer support groups. Carewell can also help you find and contact a support group near you.
