Support Groups
Michelle’s Place Offers Multiple Support Groups to Fit Your Needs
You don’t have to face cancer alone. Having the support of others dealing with similar experiences is an important part of your journey. Support groups offer the opportunity to give and receive help and can reduce the anxiety that a cancer diagnosis brings. Our support groups are all free and open to all cancer types.

"Adjusting after treatment is a strange journey, no one ever said there’s an adjustment after you're all done. I’m so glad the Survivorship Support group was implemented. I look forward to growing with the ladies, learning, exploring and becoming whole again embracing a new normal."
