The research is the WHY
Research identified several things that
can give rise to a positive change and
a more positive oncology journey
experience. As you can see external
support, through a support group will
benefit you in positive adjustment. We
also found that your needs change
through your journey, which is why
our “support group” is customizable
and flexible to your needs. We have
the flexibility to begin your support
one way and change it through your
journey. We offer this flexibility
because that is what you told us in the
research.
Why personalize?
We personalize your support from day
one. There has been ample research
to prove that participants connect
more, and get more out of their
support groups when they are more
specific. Whether that be by type,
gender, or diagnosis.
Customized not
generalized.
We don’t generalize your needs based
on your gender or your specific
diagnosis. Rather our leaders meet
with you either in person or on the
phone and determine your needs. .
We connect you in a way that works
for you. Sometimes that is individual
therapy, group therapy, a coffee and
convos session with friends, or an
online support group.
“We can’t help
everyone, but
everyone can
help someone.”

Your needs now.
Your needs now are probably
informational. We get it, you hear
cancer and you go on information and
emotional overload. We are here to
give it to you straight and connect you
with other participants to have frank
conversations to help you make the
hard decisions now and in the future.
Your needs throughout
your journey.
We don’t stop supporting you after you
make your treatment decisions or if
you change your mind along the way.
We can connect you with massage
therapy, music and writing therapy,
acupuncture and a variety of other
support needs. We connect you to
resources through the community to
meet your physical and emotional
needs.
