Virtual Support Groups

We know navigating a cancer journey can be challenging, so at CSC Iowa & NW Illinois we offer peer to peer support groups so you can connect with others. Support groups are professionally facilitated. The groups we currently offer are:

  • Connecting Through Cancer Support Group – A support group for adults with any type of cancer diagnosis in which cancer is one of their primary stressors.
  • Friends & Family Cancer Support Group – A support group for adult friends and family of someone with a cancer diagnosis in which cancer is one of their primary stressors.
  • Post Treatment Connect Support Group: Survivorship support group, where the individual has completed treatment and/or is on maintenance drugs.
  • Prostate Networking Group: A networking group for those with a current prostate cancer diagnosis, survivors, care partners, or spouses.
