About this programme
The Support Groups Program provides structured spaces for emotional, psychological, and social support for patients, survivors, and caregivers.
Cancer is not only a medical condition — it creates mental, emotional, and social strain that often goes unaddressed. Support groups provide a space where those affected can find community, understanding, and practical guidance.
