A Time to Heal
Cancer can threaten our understanding of ourselves and who we are. It threatens our mental stability with frightening thoughts, anxiety and depression. It chips away at our independence. These feelings can stay with us long after treatment has ended. And so many wonder … will I ever be ME again? A Time to Heal helps cancer patients recover, rebuild health, reduce stress, boost hope and manage fear of recurrence. Programs are offered free of charge and facilitated by licensed medical and mental health professionals. They are offered in the safe and convenient online environment of Zoom and serve any adult cancer survivors/caregivers, regardless of where they were treated or their geographic location.

“Do I believe every cancer survivor should have a program like A Time to Heal? The answer is yes. You’re around a group of people who can relate to how you feel both emotionally and physically. There is no substitute for being able to talk to those people.” – George Hefley, Vice President of Achievement Unlimited, Inc and Survivorship 101 Participant
