Support Groups

Support groups are one of the ways we reach out to help people cope with the many difficulties that can arise as patients navigate the path through cancer diagnosis and treatment. By bringing together people affected by similar conditions, support groups can help people feel less alone and also give people an opportunity to share information and discuss their coping strategies. These groups can be very helpful to patients for both emotional support and information exchange.

At Mount Sinai we offer several support groups for those affected by cancer. The following schedule changes frequently, so check back for updates:
