WELLSPRING CANCER SUPPORT CENTRES
Wellspring is a
network of centres that provide emotional and psychological support, free
of charge, to individuals and families living with cancer. In 2004 MCC
Toronto and Wellspring formed a first of its kind support group - for
lesbians and their partners living with cancer. In 2005, our partnership
with Wellspring broadened, as a group was formed for the specific needs of
gay men. Both of these groups meet in a safe, supporting, nurturing
environment where the sharing of unique journeys and personal experiences
creates a space that meets the special needs of the GLBT community.
