Introduction to CSC-SCT
The Cancer Support Community of Southern Connecticut (CSC-SCT) is an affiliate in development of the Cancer Support Community – an international network of independently chartered nonprofits that provide professional programs of emotional support, education and hope for people impacted by cancer so that no one faces cancer alone.
Our robust program of psychosocial support is open free of charge to those with a cancer diagnosis as well as their family, friends, caregivers and loved ones.
Participants are welcome for our support groups, classes, lectures, social events and more…or can simply drop in for a cup of tea or conversation with other members.

Stories from our Board of Directors
My mom is a breast cancer survivor. She was first diagnosed after I was born about 45 years ago…I wonder how my dad did it? How did he hold everything together when my mom was sick? -Jen
When I was first diagnosed at age 38, I had three children between the ages of 1 and 7…although there were enough places to turn to for medical attention, there was nowhere to go for the emotional help I needed… I spent hours every day searching the Internet for support – for me, as well as my kids. -Rose
I was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer…I always knew I would be beat it but my wife and mother weren’t as sure. They probably worried more about me than I did about myself. They needed somewhere or someplace to turn to other than my doctors and the internet to be able to talk through their worries and concerns…CSC-SCT can be that place for families, friends and cancer patients. –Bob
