Join 9-year Breast Cancer Survivor Jill Lowry in the Fireside Room of the Community Church of Sebastopol (1000 Gravenstein Hwy) on Saturday mornings from 10am – 11:30am as she facilitates a multi dimensional support group for breast cancer survivors.
From the moment a woman (or man) receives the diagnosis of breast cancer, every aspect of their lives change. Every step of this new life, from the earliest weeks after diagnosis to the following years, can present different and changing challenges.
This is a multi dimensional program, utilizing verbal processing, creative writing, visualization, art, meditation and/or prayer to support the group in expressing their thoughts and feelings that feel appropriate and safe for each group member to share. Topics of process could include fear, self image, pain, joy, humor, sexuality issues, gratitude, anger, relationships, life-changes, etc.
This group is open to anyone of any age whom has ever received a breast cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. Call Jill Lowry if you have any questions or would like to register. 829-7905
(Please note that the group will NOT meet on July 12th and 19th due to a scheduling conflict with the church).
Note: This group is not designed to counsel individuals on treatment choices or physician selection. This is a peer-led group and is not facilitated by a licensed psychologist. Due to the sensitive nature of this group, all members will be asked to sign a pledge of confidentiality. If you have any special comfort needs please let Jill know). There is no charge for this group and it is open to anyone in the community. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
