Carewell offers activities that provide our members with opportunities for enhancing their health and wellness in a holistic manner. Our Mind/Body programs involving relaxation, meditation, prayer, art, and energy therapies can help reduce stress, create a feeling of wellbeing, and provide relief from adverse treatment symptoms and side effects:

• Yoga is a form of exercise involving a sequence of postures and breathing activities.  It can lead to improved physical fitness and lower levels of stress.
• QiGong is an energy therapy that combines movement, meditation, and regulation of breathing.  It can help reduce chronic pain and relieve anxiety.
• Reiki is a therapy for the proper channeling of spiritual energy to reduce stress.
• Art activities help lessen anxiety and stress, while also enhancing coping skills
• Centering Prayer enables spiritual healing through a method of contemplative prayer. 
• Talks on Wellness and Health provide up-to-date information and advice on what persons with cancer and their loved ones can do to maintain or improve their quality of life, while also maximizing the beneficial effects of treatment.
• Our “Respite Weekend” Program is an opportunity for persons living with cancer to relax and enjoy with their families and friends in a restful and replenishing place.
• Carewell also organizes fun and civic activities to provide enjoyable and informative opportunities for coming together as a community to learn more about and manage living with cancer.  Funruns/walks, concerts, book readings, education and awareness campaigns, bazaar sales, and art exhibits are just some examples of these activities.
