Support & Networking Groups

 

In-Person Support & Networking Groups

In-person support and networking groups offer opportunities for people with pancreatic cancer and their family members to share experiences with others.  Most in-person support groups are guided and facilitated by a professional counselor, social worker or nurse.  Search for a pancreatic cancer support group or networking group in your state.

 

Online Support Groups

For people who do not have a pancreatic cancer in-person group locally or who prefer to stay at home, online support groups and message boards are great options.  Oftentimes, online support groups are facilitated by a professional counselor and offer the same benefits as in-person groups.  Message boards provide a convenient way to post questions or comments and read others' responses. 

Help and support are just a click away. Learn more.

 

Telephone Support

Connecting with others over the phone is yet another way of receiving support.  Talk to people who understand what you are going through. Telephone support groups can help you cope.

 

Learn How to Facilitate Support Groups

Learn about professional training for support group facilitators.  Nurses and Social Workers can receive continuing education credit for some training courses.
