Gastrointestinal Cancer Support Group

Support Groups

In partnership with Advocate Christ Medical Center

2nd Thursday of the month | 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM | Virtual

If you have been diagnosed with a gastrointestinal cancer, we invite you to participate in our monthly virtual support group. This group provides a supportive environment for discussions, educational insights, and community connections. Participants are encouraged to include their caregivers. All the services, including support groups, offered at Gilda’s Club Chicago are provided without any cost. This group is co-facilitated by a licensed mental health practitioner and an oncology nurse navigator.

Facilitators:
Mary Ann Andrade-Bekker, Psy.D., LCPC
Nicole Houlihan, RN, BSN, OCN

Gilda’s Club Chicago’s monthly support groups are facilitated by a licensed mental health professional, medical professional and/or community partner. Monthly support groups are intended for adults. Registration for support groups must be done through the online calendar. For those new to Gilda’s Club, attending a Beyond the Red Door: Orientation is required before attending a monthly support group. These take place every week and you can register at www.gildasclubchicago.org/calendar.
