The American Cancer Society can help you big time with this and also provide direction and advice. However, I do believe that you need to be trained as a "Reach for Recovery" volunteer. This is a 9 hour training (over 2 days) and you could then also be given names of people who call the ACS for help.


I am awaiting training at the next one given in Northern NJ. The support group I go to is ACS sponsered and our 2 group leaders are Reach for Recovery trained volunteer survivors.

Just a thought on how to get help and information as not all support groups are ACS sponsered.

Kind regards
