Cancer Lifeline CARES
With Bonnie McGregor, Ph.D.
October 7 - December 16, 2026
Cancer Lifeline CARES (Coping, Awareness, Resilience, and Empowerment for survivorship- formerly known as Living SMART)
If you are currently undergoing cancer treatment or have had treatment within the last five years, this Cancer Lifeline CARES program is an extension of our heartfelt approach to healing at Cancer Lifeline. We see healing as more than just a cure; it’s about bringing you back to a sense of wholeness. We believe in the power of being healed, even if a cure is not immediate. Often, cancer survivors are unaware that the journey to healing continues after completing treatment with their oncology team.
Join us for an 11-week virtual group stress management, coping, and relaxation training workshop grounded in clinical research and shaped through years of real-world application with people living with cancer. The series is facilitated by experienced leaders who guide participants through a supportive, skill-based group process focused on whole-person healing. You will receive a workbook and 10 guided relaxation recordings. This group has been called a “Game changer” and “Definitely the best thing I have done for myself since my cancer diagnosis.”
