SUMMARY:Outside the Lines: Social Hour
DESCRIPTION:Creative expression has often been used in the healing process and it is at the core of Smith Center’s philosophy\, but fear of judgment and “not being an artist” can often prevent us from tapping into its healing power. Join us for Outside the Lines: Social Hour\, where we will catch up as we reclaim art-making as a healing tool. Participants are welcome to work on their own creative projects as we socialize.  \n\n\n\nOutside the Lines is held Bi-Monthly on Wednesdays from 10:30am – 12:00pm EST. The Social Hour sessions will only run from 10:30 – 11:30am EST. \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                                                Cancer Support Program Director | Program Facilitator and Healing Circle Host                                                \,                                             \n                                            Kiersten Gallagher\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: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\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
