Scientific studies have proven that psycho-social support for cancer patients is a vital form of treatment in fighting the disease. Cancer Support Community South Bay is a chapter of the Cancer Support Community, an international non-profit with over 100 chapters worldwide. Our mission is to uplift and strengthen people impacted by cancer by providing support, fostering compassionate communities,

and breaking down barriers to care. CSC South Bay provides emotional support, education and hope for people affected by cancer and their loved ones in the South Bay, Long Beach, and Orange County. Our programs are developed from evidence-based psychosocial oncology and groups are facilitated by licensed therapists. Our services include weekly and monthly support groups, 16 cancer-specific groups, bereavement groups, programs geared specifically towards kids and teens, and both individual and family counseling services. Licensed therapists encourage participants to adopt a set of actions, behaviors, and attitudes that will improve the quality of their life and ultimately could increase the possibility of recovery. Accompanying our core programs are monthly educational workshops with experts in the fields of oncology, wellness, nutrition, and more. Participants also have full access to a variety of healthy lifestyle classes focusing on the mind-body connection as well as social events that foster community, positivity, and connection. Again, all of this is offered completely free of charge for ANYONE affected by cancer.
