Description

This support group is designed for individuals navigating a blood cancer diagnosis to share experiences, receive emotional support, and build connection with others. Participants can explore coping strategies, receive education, and find strength in community. Please join us from 1:30 - 2:30pm on the 2nd Wednesday of each month. Please note this group is offered through a virtual format.

Special instructions

Atrium Health Support Groups, whether held virtually or in person, provide an optional forum for patients to receive support, ask questions, participate in discussions, hear from special guests on relevant topics, and find a safe space to heal. These groups are not intended for medical diagnosis, treatment, or medical advice.
