Have you ever been up late at night and felt you were the only one going through this….
Do you want to speak to others going through the same thing?
Are you unable to get to a support group…..
Then The Living Room is the place for you! In addition to the nearly 50 affiliates around the world and dozens of community partners, the Cancer Support Community offers The Living Room, your online cancer support community where you can connect with others 24/7.
The Living Room offers everything that our affiliates offer - just online!
We offer licensed-professional support groups, discussion boards, and a way for you to create your own personal webpage. Below are some of the features:
Online Support Groups
These groups meet online in a text-based chat room for 90 minutes each week, and are facilitated by professionals specially trained to manage the diverse interactions of an Online Support Group. We offer groups for people with cancer, caregivers and those dealing with bereavement. Enroll in a group and connect with other individuals who are going through similar experiences. In addition to the weekly meetings, each online group has its own discussion group available only to the members of that group to enable continuous discussions.
Discussion Groups
Connect with other members of The Living Room by participating in our Discussion Groups. These groups are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and cover a variety of topics. Receive advice, support and offer tips to other people going through similar cancer experiences.
Create Your own Personal Website
Create a personal website to easily build your online support community. Share information with friends and family on your terms via one central website. Your personal website will allow you post photos, videos and share your calendar to communicate easily and receive the vital help you need during and beyond your cancer treatment.
