Support groups can help women affected by breast cancer feel less alone and can improve their ability to deal with the uncertainties and challenges that cancer brings. Support groups give people who are affected by similar diseases an opportunity to meet and discuss ways to cope with the illness. Current research confirms the importance of support for those struggling with cancer. To supplement the comfort family and friends provide, the Hartford Hospital Cancer Program provides a variety of support groups:

• Breast Cancer Support Group
• New Beginnings
• Breast Cancer High Risk Lecture
• Ductal Carcinoma In Situ
• CHESS - Comprehensive Health Enhancement Support System
