Getting Started
Attend a one time Welcome Meeting before you join a virtual support group and learn more about the services we offer! Welcome Meetings are offered via zoom or on-demand (at your convenience).
All of our programs are offered at no cost.
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 two groups we currently offer are:
- Connecting Through Cancer Support Group – weekly support group for adults with a cancer diagnosis and survivors.
- Friends & Family Cancer Support Group – weekly support group for family members and friends of those with any type of cancer diagnosis.
Educational Workshop Series
Our educational workshops teach you how to live with cancer by providing new skills, information, and techniques. We cover a variety of topics, including diagnoses, treatments, side effects, survivorship challenges, insurance, finances, legal issues, nutrition, and more. Our workshops are taught by experts in a safe and informal setting where you can ask questions and get answers.
All of our workshops are offered at NO COST and open to the public.
