There has been a very active Women's Support Group at the Centre for many years. Frequently people have a fear of support groups and imagine that they are nothing but a catalogue of doom and gloom. At Sligo Cancer Support Centre, it is quite to opposite. We are "Living beyond Cancer" and the emphasis is on hope and turning a negative experience into a positive one. It is usually a very social occasion with talks on self-image, nutrition, skin care etc. Support takes place over a cup of tea and a chat in smaller groups. The atmosphere is informal and very caring.

Support and information for men's cancers is provided through one to one support, and group support. Again, this service is provided in a very informal, confidential and caring environment.
