Support Groups

Cancer support groups and services provide those affected by cancer an opportunity to meet and discuss their journey in a supportive environment. Support groups allow people to connect with others affected by cancer, discuss the impacts of their journey, and seek social and emotional support from each other. Groups are often formed for specific cancer types or based on regional locations.

Below is a list of groups and services which may be able to help. The group/services listed are those that we are aware of, and may not include every one available in the Grampians Region. If you know of a group/service that can be included on this page, please contact us at gics5f2b5528bfb22bhs5f2b5528bfb5aorg5f2b5528bfb5aau
