Please note that while we are holding our support groups online on Zoom that our Support Group Agreement requires participation by both video and audio unless you have been granted an exception by Cancer Lifeline in advance of the meeting.

If you are joining a meeting for the first time and are uncertain about how to use the videoconference platform we use for all of our groups, Zoom, please consider reaching out to our Lifeline during regular business hours before the day of the group so that someone with Cancer Lifeline can assist you in getting everything setup and answer questions you have. You can also call us at (206) 297-2100 during normal business hours, M-F 9am-5pm.

Our programming season occurs in four-month trimesters. Thus, the presentations identified on this page are those that will be held at the beginning of the support group meeting for the current program season. Anyone is invited to attend the presentation, regardless of whether you are a member of the support group. When you register, you will have the option of indicating whether you want to join the support group as well.
