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 on Zoom. \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\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer URL:https://smithcenter.org/program/survivorship-support-group-3/2026-12-08/ CATEGORIES:Cancer Support,Support Groups ORGANIZER;CN="Cancer Support Community DC":MAILTO:llove@cancersupportcommunity.org LOCATION:https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83631497042 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261209T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261209T193000 DTSTAMP:20260610T152053 CREATED:20260527T175645Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260527T175647Z UID:10001981-1796841000-1796844600@smithcenter.org SUMMARY:DC Young Adult Cancer Meet Up and Support Group DESCRIPTION:This monthly gathering is an opportunity to meet other young adult cancer survivors in their 20s\, 30s and early 40s.
