Navigating Cancer with Community & Support
A place to breathe, heal, and find strength together
Hope House offers a welcoming cancer support community where individuals can find connection, comfort, and tools for wellbeing at every stage of their cancer journey—from diagnosis to treatment to post-cancer recovery. Our programs create space to breathe, reflect, move, and heal alongside others who understand what you are navigating.
How The Program Works
Who It’s For
These programs are open to anyone diagnosed with cancer, at any point in their journey. Whether you are newly diagnosed, in active treatment, in remission, or rebuilding life after treatment, you are welcome here. Caregivers are also invited to participate in select programs.
Our Approach
Wellbeing is a sense of health and vitality that arises from your thoughts, emotions, actions, and experiences. Hope House’s wellness programs support your emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing as you navigate cancer. Each session offers gentle guidance, community connection, and time to focus on yourself.
Crafting Wellbeing
Crafting can spark joy, ease stress, and help you find that blissful ‘feel-good flow’ – a meditative-like state for both mind and body. Come enjoy the simple pleasures of cutting, gluing and creating as we craft our way to better wellbeing.
