Northwestern Connections Support Group

Support Groups

1st & 3rd Tuesdays of the month | 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM | Virtual
For those new to Gilda’s Club, attending a Beyond the Red Door: Orientation is highly encouraged before joining this bi-monthly support group. These take place every week and you can register at www.gildasclubchicago.org/calendar.

GCC members who receive medical care from Northwestern Hospitals are welcome to attend this group once, intermittently, or each time it is held. Whatever your diagnosis, at whatever stage you are in treatment, you are welcome. If you would like to check-in for laughter, casual banter, to seek resources and referrals from community, or even just to vent, this is the group for you.

Facilitator:
Ali Vernasco, LCSW

Gilda’s Club is a place where those whose lives have been impacted by cancer, as well as their families and friends, can feel they are part of a welcoming community. Gilda’s Club Chicago’s weekly and monthly support groups are facilitated by a licensed mental health professional, medical professional and/or community partner. Weekly and monthly support groups are intended for adults. To help ensure a meaningful group experience, we’re introducing a new policy for monthly groups: if a group has fewer than the minimum number of required registrants 24 hours prior, that session will be cancelled. We encourage you to register early to help keep groups running as scheduled. Registration for support groups must be done through the online calendar
