Cancer Wellness Connections

Cancer Wellness Connections is a Rochester based non-profit that provides tips to cope with the effects of cancer, making women more at ease during the course of their treatment. But ultimately our goal is to empower them to live an enriched and fulfilling life by focusing on the control they retain regardless of diagnosis. The World Health Organization defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". Our approach is to address the needs of the person experiencing cancer through free online group and individual sessions focused on their unique needs. These holistic sessions emphasize the benefits of leaning on a support network for practical help. We also encourage compassion, a key component to feeling supported, valued, and loved. This helps one maintain a full sense of personhood rather than feeling merely like a cancer patient. Activities include: Sexual Health for Women who Have Experienced Cancer - Group sessions lead by certified Physicians and Therapists. Stress Reduction - Group and individual sessions with local practitioners offering techniques to manage stress and anxiety . Food & Nutrition - Cooking Demos and recipes for healthier cooking Book Clubs - Lighthearted group events for social and emotional enrichment. Because there's more to your life than cancer.
