Programs

  • Program 1 [2020]

    GILDA'S CLUB TWIN CITIES IS A COMMUNITY WHERE PEOPLE IMPACTED BY CANCER GATHER, CONNECT, AND LEARN. OUR EVIDENCE-BASED PROGRAM OF SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT IS BUILT ON FIVE PILLARS: SUPPORT GROUPS, HEALTHY LIFESTYLES, EDUCATION, SOCIAL OPPORTUNITIES, AND INFORMATION & REFERRAL. THIS CUSTOMIZED SUPPORT IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE TO ALL WHO ARE IMPACTED BY CANCER, ADDRESSING THE NEEDS OF THOSE LIVING WITH CANCER AS WELL AS THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS. COVID-19 SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED THE WAY WE DELIVER OUR PROGRAM OF SUPPORT, BUT IN 2020 WE WERE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITION TO A 100% VIRTUAL PROGRAM WITHOUT MISSING ONE DAY. OUR WEEKLY SUPPORT GROUPS WERE DELIVERED ON A HIPAA-COMPLIANT ZOOM PLATFORM AND CONTINUE TO BE FACILITATED BY LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. WE HAVE WEEKLY AND MONTHLY SUPPORT GROUP OFFERINGS.
