TOUCH Support Group

“TOUCH” stands for “Today Our Understanding of Cancer is Hope.” It’s undeniable that cancer can wreak havoc on an individual and their family. It can be a scary and stressful time. You may not know where to turn. That’s why we created a support group for cancer patients, cancer survivors, and their families. Support groups create a community and offer support and advice about handling stress and significant milestones.

The TOUCH cancer support group is conducted by a Chaplain and meets on the first Friday of each month at noon in Professional Office Building One of UAB Medical West near the cafeteria. A complimentary meal is provided for those who attend.

For more information or to register to attend, please call the Chaplain’s Office at (205) 481-7359.

Grief Support Group

Coping with the death of a loved one is a journey—not an event. To help along this journey, UAB Medical West offers a Grief Support Group that provides information and caring encouragement. Dealing with loss is a unique experience for everyone. Grief groups provide a judgment-free environment to explore your emotions and your healing process.

The group is facilitated by a Chaplain and meets weekly on Monday evenings from 6 to 7 p.m. in Professional Office Building One of UAB Medical West near the cafeteria. A complimentary meal is provided for those who attend.

For more information on getting involved, call (205) 481-7359.
