MISSION STATEMENT:
To provide an environment to support men and women who are experiencing or who have overcome cancer, their caregivers and/or family members, in a group setting.
This program does not provide one-on-one visitation services.
The Lower Similkameen Community Services Society does not promote or support private business ventures in any of its programs. Therefore, these meetings are not an appropriate venue for promotion of services for cancer patients, or any other business venture.
OVERVIEW OF GROUP AIMS:
- To help people realize that they are not alone.
- Socialization and friendship. (There will be no medical or grief counselling.)
- Respect of each others confidentiality. Personal information learned will remain within the group.
- To invite Guest speakers to provide general information and inspiration in their area of expertise. They will be registered professionals; and they will not provide individual specific medical advice during the group sessions.
