Otros servicios incluyen educación y divulgación en la comunidad latina\, asi como navegación de pacientes para exámenes de detección y tratamiento de cáncer.  \n\n\n\nEn asociación con Smith Center\, Nueva Vida tendrá grupos de apoyo que se enfocan en el apoyo al trauma asociado con el diagnóstico de cáncer. Estos grupos proporcionan a las latinas la oportunidad de identificar y expresar sus sentimientos\, en un lugar seguro\, y lleno de empatía\, así como compartir sus sentimientos con otras personas que están o han pasado por similares circunstancias. Las reuniones semanales\, se combinan con una actividad de reducción del estrés (Zumba o Yoga).  \n\n\n\nEste programa se ofrece prácticamente a través de Zoom. Regístrese en Claudia al 202.384.8342 para recibir el enlace Zoom para participar. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNueva Vida is an independent nonprofit that provides free\, comprehensive\, culturally competent cancer services to medically underserved Latino families in the District of Columbia\, Northern Virginia (as far south as Prince William County)\, Suburban Maryland (Montgomery & Prince George’s Counties)\, Richmond\, and Baltimore. Other services include outreach to the Latino community and Patient Navigation for cancer screenings and treatment. \n\n\n\nIn partnership with Smith Center\, Nueva Vida provides support groups that are focused on supporting the trauma associated with a cancer diagnosis.

All support group meetings are paired with a stress reduction activity (either Zumba or Yoga). \n\n\n\nThis program is being offered virtually through Zoom.

SUMMARY:Healing Circle: Grupo de Apoyo LGBTQIA+ con Cáncer de Próstata Para Hispanoparlantes (en Español)
DESCRIPTION:El cáncer de próstata (CP) es una realidad que también afecta a la comunidad LGBTQIA+. Es el tumor más frecuente en personas con próstata\, siendo el segundo más común en todo el mundo y el quinto en mortalidad. No hay evidencias que relacionen el CP con la orientación sexual. La mayoría de los diagnósticos se dan en personas mayores de 65 años\, siendo muy poco frecuente en menores de 40. \n\n\n\nEl colectivo LGBTQIA+ enfrenta un triple tabú en relación al cáncer de próstata. Por un lado\, es un tumor silenciado en nuestra sociedad debido a que afecta el concepto tradicional de masculinidad. Por otro lado\, este silencio se agrava por nuestra condición sexual. Esta situación puede afectar los tratamientos que recibimos\, debido a la falta de información sobre los efectos secundarios de los tratamientos en relación a nuestra orientación sexual y nuestras prácticas sexuales. Y\, para finalizar\, existe otro condicionante importante: la edad. La generación que está siendo diagnosticada actualmente ha sido marginada y discriminada por lo que tiene muchas veces miedo a compartir sus dudas. \n\n\n\nLo que proponemos es crear un espacio para hablar de nuestras experiencias\, de los tratamientos que recibimos\, de nuestras emociones\, de cómo nos sentimos\, de cómo afecta el CP a nuestras relaciones y de las herramientas que tenemos para afrontar nuestras dificultades. Es muy difícil encontrar un grupo de apoyo para hispanohablantes pertenecientes al colectivo LGBTQIA+. En este grupo encontrarás apoyo. \n\n\n\nDesarrollo 1 hora y media máximo\, primer lunes de cada mes 19:30-21:00 (zona horaria de Madrid). (13:30-15:00 ET). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProstate cancer (PC) is a reality that also affects the LGBTQIA+ community. It is the most frequent tumor in people with a prostate\, the second most common worldwide and the fifth in mortality. There is no evidence to relate PC to sexual orientation. Most diagnoses occur in people over 65\, being very rare in those under 40. The LGBTQIA+ group faces a triple taboo in relation to prostate cancer. On the one hand\, it is a cancer that is not often spoken of in our society because it affects the traditional concept of masculinity. On the other hand\, this silence is aggravated by our sexuality. This situation can affect the treatments we receive\, due to the lack of information on the side effects of treatments in relation to our sexual orientation and our sexual practices. And\, finally\, there is another important condition: age. The generation that is currently being diagnosed has been marginalized and discriminated against\, so they are often afraid to ask questions related to intimacy. \n\n\n\nWhat we propose is to create a space to talk about our experiences\, the treatments we receive\, our emotions\, how we feel\, how PC affects our relationships\, and the tools we have to face our difficulties. It is very difficult to find a support group for Spanish speakers in the the LGBTQIA+ community. In this group you will find support. \n\n\n\nThe Healing Circle for Spanish-Speaking LGBTQIA+ Men with Prostate Cancer meets Monthly on the 1st Monday of each month from 7:30 – 9:00PM Madrid Time Zone/1:30 – 3:00 PM EST. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Alfonso Luis\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                        \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Charles Domingue\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

SUMMARY:Survivorship Support Group
DESCRIPTION:This group is designed for cancer survivors who have completed their primary cancer treatment(s) and are now either post-treatment or on maintenance medication (such as hormonal therapy). Cancer can be emotionally and physically draining — many times we aren’t able to fully process the experience until after treatment is over and we are trying to get back to our “normal” lives. The struggle and expectation to find “normal” again can also be an overwhelming process. This group is a space where you can talk openly about these issues and process the trauma of cancer with other survivors. \n\n\n\nThe group meets monthly on the 2nd Tuesday from 6:30-7:30pm ET. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Support Group Facilitator                                                \,                                             \n                                            Crystal Joseph\, LCPC\, LPC\, ACS\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                        \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Support Group Facilitator                                                \,                                             \n                                            Lashondra Love\, LGSW\, LMSW\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

SUMMARY:Healing Circle for Young Adults with Metastatic Breast Cancer
DESCRIPTION:We are a demand-driven and patient-led online community support group for young women and men (diagnosed between the age of 18 – 45ish) with metastatic breast cancer (MBC).

SUMMARY:Room for Grief
DESCRIPTION:Room for Grief: A Monthly Space for Loss From Bereavement\n\n\n\n“Each person’s grief is as unique as their fingerprint. But what everyone has in common is that no matter how they grieve\, they share a need for their grief to be witnessed.” \n\n\n\n-David Kessler \n\n\n\nIf you’ve lost a loved one\, a healing circle for those in grief is an opportunity to share what’s on your heart and mind\, to listen\, and be listened to deeply and generously. \n\n\n\nOur healing circles are a safe and supportive space to walk with each other through these times.  Each circle is a blend of sharing and silence\, compassion and curiosity. Our agreements ensure acceptance and confidentiality. We honor our own unique paths to healing and respect the choices of others. \n\n\n\nThis is an ongoing circle.

SUMMARY:Canceled - Parents with Cancer - A Place for Healing
DESCRIPTION:Parents with Cancer – A Place for Healing is a peer-led virtual support group for parents who are newly diagnosed\, in active treatment or in survivorship experiencing challenges with their role as a parent during their cancer journey. As this is a peer led support group\, the co-facilitators can best support parents who have children from 0-18 years old. \n\n\n\nThis group is not about giving advice (although facilitators will share resources after group and encourage this type of sharing outside of group). Instead it is about sharing our stories (the heart ache that comes from parenting with cancer) without judgment and listening with love. There will also be periodic in-person playdates for parents\, partners and their kids in the DMV. \n\n\n\nWhat Members Are Saying:\n\n\n\n“Crucial resource for parents — an invaluable source of connection.” \n\n\n\n“I’m reaching out today to share with you how helpful yesterday’s program was for me. It was the first time I had joined a support group specifically for parents. That topic alone was worth attending and what really impressed me was the format. I found so much value in the way that we held space for each other\, listened\, and used silence as part of the process. I look forward to attending again. I am so grateful to the Smith Center for providing this resource.” \n\n\n\n“I have been attending this healing circle as much as I can and it has brought me so much comfort and peace– and truly a sense of belonging and healing.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitators\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                \n                    \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Lauren Sauer\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                        \n                            \n                                \n                                                                            \n                                                                                    \n                                                                        \n                                        \n                                            \n                                                Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Tracy Steffek\, MPA\n                                        \n                                    \n                                \n                            \n\n                                        \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer

SUMMARY:Canceled - Loss of a Parent to Cancer Support Group
