Hi everyone,
It seems like some Carenity members would like to find in person support groups. Here is what the American Cancer Society says are some good places to look for cancer support groups near you:
"Many hospitals, cancer centers, community groups, and schools offer cancer support groups. Below are some ways to find groups near you.
Ask your health care team if your cancer center or hospital has cancer support groups.
Ask your hospital social worker where to find support groups.
Talk to other patients who have tried support groups.
Look for advocacy groups or organizations for your specific cancer type. Many offer groups and listservs for your needs.
Do an online search for groups in your area. Or go to the NCI database Organizations that Offer Cancer Support Services to find those that offer support groups. Examples include CancerCare and the Cancer Support Community.

Hello everyone,
How are you doing today?
At Carenity, we try to connect patients living with chronic illnesses via an online platform. Your voices can be expresses, shared, and you can find community with others living with similar conditions to yours.
But what about in-person connection, where have you found your support group? Was it at your hospital? A meet up group? A fundraiser? Through friends?
Please share where you found your support group, where you turn for help.
Take care,
Lizzi from the Carenity team
