Santa Cruz Family Support Group (3rd)

The group will address specific issues related to a blood cancer diagnosis and will provide an opportunity for attendees to discuss concerns, anxieties, feelings related to illness, treatment and other related issues. The meetings are designed to provide mutual support and education to members by meeting with others whose situations are similar to their own. They are a resource to support coping, in conjunction with your or a loved one's medical treatment.

This group meets IN PERSON* on the first and third Tuesday of the month, 5:30pm – 7:00pm (Pacific)
Schedule is subject to change. Please contact the group’s facilitator to confirm date/time.

*It is highly recommended that all blood cancer patients or other immunocompromised individuals check with their healthcare provider before attending this event. Research conducted by LLS and others has shown that some blood cancer patients do not get optimal protection from COVID-19 vaccination and may continue to have heightened susceptibility to contracting and becoming ill from COVID-19. While at the event, we urge our community to respect anyone’s choice to continue to take precautions like masking or social distancing.
