SUMMARY:Rekindle & Renew (R&R): Virtual Meet-up Group for Couples Facing Cancer
DESCRIPTION:Rekindle & Renew (R&R): Virtual Meet-up Group for Couples Facing Cancer\nRegister here\nThursday, February 20 @ 5 pm PT/6 pm MT/7 pm CT/8 pm ET, 60 minutes\nThursday, May 15 @ 5 pm PT/6 pm MT/7 pm CT/8 pm ET, 60 minutes\nThursday, Aug 21 @ 5 pm PT/6 pm MT/7 pm CT/8 pm ET, 60 minutes\nThursday, Nov 20 @ 5 pm PT/6 pm MT/7 pm CT/8 pm ET, 60 minutes\nCancer has a way of inserting itself into your partnership like an unwanted third wheel, nagging you from the backseat while you navigate this new territory. Negotiating new roles and expectations, upended schedules, intense feelings, insecurities, sex and intimacy are all new pit stops along the way. It may feel like none of your couple friends can relate–they have no idea what it’s like to juggle cancer along with the other natural relationship ups and downs. We see you. We have a space for you.\nWho is this group for?\nThis meet-up group is for partners in their 20s, 30s and 40s who are navigating a cancer diagnosis, whether it is new or years old. We know that couples look very different. This space is safe and welcoming of all partners, including same-sex, polyamorous, monogamous, married, dating, cohabiting or separated.\nEach meeting will have a theme to guide discussion:\nThursday, February 20: Expressions of Love: How Cancer has Impacted Affection and Connection\nThursday, May 15: Managing Expectations: How to Communicate Clearly and Get What You Need\nThursday, August 21: Shifting Roles: Navigating New Responsibilities and Emotional Responses\nThursday, November 20: Things We’ve Lost to Cancer: Exploring the Grief and Loss in your Relationship since Getting a Diagnosis\nThis meet-up group is a partnership between Dear Jack Foundation  ( https://www.dearjackfoundation.org/ )and Bright Spot Network ( https://www.brightspotnetwork.org/ ). It is facilitated by Lillian Dugan, LCSW, Director of Programs at Dear Jack Foundation and Carissa Hodgson, LCSW, OSW-C, Director of Programs and Community Outreach at Bright Spot Network.\nRegister to receive the Zoom link. If you have questions, email Lillian (lilly@dearjackfoundation.org) or Carissa (carissa@brightspotnetwork.org)\n
