SUPPORT GROUPS

ABCF hosts a monthly support group where our support group facilitator works with cancer survivors during “caring and sharing” time to encourage healthy dialogue and education for everyone involved.

Having the support of others is an important part of breast cancer survivorship. Research shows that taking part in support groups, where you both give and receive help, is an effective way to reduce the stress and anxiety that can come with a breast cancer diagnosis.

Our support groups provide a private place for individuals to discuss their experiences, share ideas and provide support to one another. ABCF groups and activities are voluntary associations of social support and are meant to encourage and inspire one another. 
Our support groups include the following. For a full list, check out our event calendar.
 
  • Breast Cancer Newly Diagnosed & In-Treatment
  • General Breast Cancer Support Group
  • Hereditary Cancer
  • Metastatic Breast Cancer*
  • Creole Language Breast Cancer
  • Young Women’s Breast Cancer Group
*Our Metastatic Breast Cancer Support Group is made up of women who have been diagnosed with stage IV (metastatic) breast cancer. They discuss many topics. Yes, they speak about death and grief, but they also laugh and joke. ABCF shares resources, experiences and a never-ending list of practical tips to manage things like side effects and tough conversations with family members.
