Two Different Support Groups

At Circle of Hope, our support groups are open to everyone and offered free of charge. Support groups are available for individuals diagnosed with any form of cancer, as well as family members, friends, and caregivers seeking support and connection throughout the cancer journey.

Peer-Led Support Group with Colleen Shaffer

Time: 7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Format: Available via Zoom and in person

This welcoming peer-led support group provides a safe and compassionate space for individuals impacted by cancer to connect with others who truly understand the journey. Participants are encouraged to share experiences, challenges, successes, and feelings in a supportive environment built on understanding and mutual encouragement. Whether you are newly diagnosed, currently in treatment, in remission, or caring for a loved one, this group offers meaningful connection, emotional support, and the reminder that you do not have to face cancer alone.

Therapist-Led Support Group with Cheryl Morrow, MFT

Time: 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Format: Available via Zoom and in person

Facilitated by licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Cheryl Morrow, this professionally guided support group offers a deeper level of emotional support and personal growth. Participants have the opportunity to explore the emotional, mental, and relational challenges that often accompany a cancer diagnosis in a safe and confidential setting. Through guided discussion, coping strategies, and therapeutic insight, attendees can gain tools to manage stress, process difficult emotions, strengthen resilience, and find hope throughout their cancer journey. This group is open to individuals affected by cancer who are seeking professional support, understanding, and encouragement from others facing similar experiences.

The Many Ways WE SUPPORT YOU

Circle of Hope Inc. realizes there are many ways to support individuals, and their families during a cancer diagnosis. We offer a multi-level approach to our program and understand not everyone benefits with just one program. Circle of Hope Inc. has created programs for cancer patients by cancer patients.

Life Coaching

Life coaching focuses directly on identifying what you wish to achieve in the present and future. Coaches help you identify manageable goals and set tasks you can undertake to achieve your goals. Coaches tend to use a combination of inquiry, diagrams and exercises to help you understand problem areas and identify ways to overcome them. This can be helpful in your cancer treatment.

Never lose sight of your direction, balance is essential to your life no matter what you are going through.

Nutrition and Fitness

Part of dealing with your diagnosis is taking care of your body and eating the right way. The second element is getting proper exercise. The balance of these two important factors, while you are in treatment, is essential to your recovery. If you have completed your treatments, a post nutrition and fitness routine will keep you balanced.

Take time out each day, just for you!

Mind Awareness

Balance is a necessary baseline for sustainable success. Wellness is the optimal state of balance between the body and mind. Maintaining that balance, when life demands a division of time and focuses in so many directions, can be very challenging. Circle of Hope is here for you while navigating the unknown.

Use your inner energy to heal your body.

Once you hear the words, “you are cancer free” and you have completed
your treatment with your doctor, then what?
