SPECIAL SERIES & PROGRAMS
Cancer can, at times, feel isolating. It is important to connect and communicate with friends and family…even those we don’t know who are facing the same challenge. Among days of both good news and not-so-good news, you need to embrace opportunities to express your emotions honestly and freely. We promise it will make coping with cancer just a little bit easier.
Featured Program
Words with Friends
Beginning October 3rd
12:30 pm
For this one-hour per week journaling basics class, you’ll focus on identifying the reason for journaling, journal writing prompts and how to overcome the dreaded blank page. The focus will be more on the writing rather than sharing personal stories/excerpts.
Registration required.
