Self-Care & Coping with Breast Cancer
When & Where do we meet?
We meet monthly on the 2nd Friday at 1:00 PM and run approximately one and a half hours. The Group Room of the Center has cozy couches and decaf coffee/tea. Address: 22362 Gilberto, Suite 205, in Rancho Santa Margarita, 92688.
We are open to anyone who is facing or has faced at some time in life the challenges of a diagnosis of breast cancer. There are no restrictions - all that is required is a need for support. Most women are unfamiliar with the idea of “self-care” because they are so busy taking care of others. Now it is your turn. This group will help you to focus on yourself and make friends, too.
Who Leads the Group?
The group is facilitated by Julie Olson, Ph.D., Psychologist and Breast Cancer Survivor.
Programs
Programs focus on providing participants with people and resources to help them on this journey. In each meeting is a time for sharing among participants.
Childcare Available!
Free childcare is available by calling in advance to Mariam Harris at 949 589-5700.

Divorce Recovery Group
Have you been through a divorce in the last 6 months to a year?
Would you like support to let go and move on?
Come talk with a group of people who have been through it, too. We can help you understand what happened and what you could do now. The pain does stop, but only if you are finished with it. Let us help you out of the dark hole of grief or the feeling of just being "stuck." Donations are accepted.
