HOPE
Young Empowered Survivors
A Cancer Survivor Support Group For Young Adults Along Colorado's Front Range
WHO WE ARE:
Young Empowered Survivors (YES!) helps to connect young adults dealing with a cancer diagnosis. The group focuses on support, empowerment, sharing perspectives and resources so that our members don't feel alone as they go through their cancer diagnosis and treatment. YES! provides a safe, supportive environment to do so.
The members of YES! have generally been diagnosed with cancer before the age of 45, but we don't put constraints on the word 'young.’ If you feel that you can benefit from our group, we welcome you.
WHAT WE DO:
Young Empowered Survivors is primarily an online resource. We have an active message board for members to share questions, ideas and helpful resources. We also meet once a quarter in a casual setting to allow members to spend time with others who are going through or have gone through similar experiences. We encourage new members get together with other members of the group.
HOW YOU JOIN:
Joining is a two step process. You must complete both steps.
1. Please send an email to us at info@youngempowered.org. List your type of cancer, age at diagnosis and where you live. We'd also like to know what you hope to gain as a memeber of our group.
2. Send a request to join our YAHOO! board. Click on this link (YES!) and choose "Join This Group". You may have to set up a free YAHOO! account to continue with the request.
Once we have received both the email and the request we will quickly approve you as a new member. In the mean time please check out our Resources page. There are many great resources listed. And watch this video that one of our members created.
