Group Sessions
In addition to our other supportive services, Carolina Breast Friends offers 25 - 30 group classes and sessions each month for women and men experiencing breast cancer, regardless of where they are in their journey. All of these classes are free to anyone who is experiencing or has experienced breast cancer.

The Support Program
We were founded on the premise that the support of those on a common journey can play a pivotal role in the recovery process. The group classes and events in our Support Program provide a chance to connect, share, empower, and laugh with a safe and supportive circle of people who understand your experience. Survivors' Night, the 2nd Tuesday of each month, is an example of a group session in our Support Program. Our Support Program also offers One-on-One Mentoring services.
