Serious Illness Program
Support for Those Going Through Life-Altering Illnesses
Have you or someone you love been diagnosed with a serious illness, or coping with an exacerbation of an ongoing serious illness such as organ disease or cancer?
The time of a new diagnosis, or treatment for a recurrence or exacerbation of an ongoing illness often calls for added support. If you or your loved one are going through cancer treatment, or experiencing a healthcare crisis due to cancer or organ disease we can help.
The Serious Illness Program was created to offer support, solace, and assistance to people going through a life-altering serious illness, one that may or may not have a terminal prognosis. The program offers the support of: one-on-one volunteer services, support groups with others going through the process of a serious illness, as well as opportunities to learn more about what resources are available in the community.
The Serious Illness Program has been created to help support people in Windham County and bordering NH towns who are experiencing challenges due to a serious illness. All services are free of charge and fully confidential. We do not provide medical care.
Our trained volunteers are able to offer: emotional support and a listening ear, companionship, help around the house, transportation for appointments, support for appointments and treatments, and more…
Our Peer Support Groups are a place where folks can get together and openly share their experiences with others who truly understand. We offer a safe space to share personal experiences, feelings, coping strategies, and also allow for shared learning. Support groups are both online and in-person.
