At The Wellness Community-Atlanta Northside,
people with cancer learn that they are not alone. With the
diagnosis of cancer often come the feelings of fear,
depression, and isolation.
If negative emotions remain
constant and unremitting, they may adversely affect one’s
ability to fight, thus making recovery more difficult.
Each day, cancer patients their families and caregivers
can be with others who share the same concerns and
feelings, reducing their isolation and regaining control
of their lives.
Since 1997, The Wellness Community-Atlanta Northside has helped thousands of people with cancer in Atlanta
and the surrounding areas find comfort, friendship and peace of mind through
programs and activities
that are all free of
charge.
The Wellness
Community-Atlanta Northside is part of a national
organization that is the largest support program in the
United States. For over 25 years, our
national organization has been providing free
psychological and emotional support to people with cancer,
their families, and caregivers. |
