The Gathering Place (www.touchedbycancer.org) is a nonprofit, community-based wellness center, serving the social emotional, physical, and spiritual needs of individuals with cancer & their support network. Programs and services offered by The Gathering Place focus on healing the mind, body, and spirit.

Relaxation & Imagery Groups:

Learning to relax can be a powerful tool for dealing with the effects of cancer. Guided relaxation, imagery (visualization), and deep breathing exercises are skills that will be taught to help reduce stress, decrease anxiety and improve sleep.

Eileen Coan, SLA member and Resource Center Director at The Gathering Place hosts this meeting. She started the first consumer health library specializing in cancer in Cleveland at Fairview Hospital’s Moll Cancer Center. At The Gathering Place, she works to expand the definition of a library to included one-one-one instructions, book discussion groups, and Internet classes.
