BIPOC Cancer Support Group

People who identify as members of black, indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC) and are living with a cancer diagnosis or have a loved one living with a cancer diagnosis are invited to join this group. Thus, all people who self-identify as persons of color and whose life is affected by cancer are welcome to join this group. In addition to connecting to other members of BIPOC communities, the support group will enjoy speakers and presentations relevant to members of BIPOC communities living with cancer. The support group facilitator also identifies as a BIPOC.
