Young Adult Cancer Hangouts In November
The Young Adult Cancer (YAC) Hangouts are back! The online YAC Hangouts bring together young adult cancer survivors and caregivers each month in informal video hangouts where you can chat about anything you’d like. Whether you’re talking about cancer or anything else under the sun, join together with other people who understand what it’s like to go through young adult cancer. Finding your young adult cancer tribe can be challenging…we make it easy!
Our November YAC Hangouts are scheduled! One of them is tonight, so sign up today!!!
Wednesday, November 8th from 5:00 – 6:30 pm PST / 8:00 – 9:30 pm EST.
Tuesday, November 28th from 5:00 – 6:30 pm PST / 8:00 – 9:30 pm EST.
Sign up below and we’ll send you more details!
How does it work? After you fill out the form (above), you’re signed up for the YAC Hangouts! These hangouts are informal and unmoderated. There will be a Lacuna Loft volunteer always present as a guide for the hangout, but these video chats are not a support group and will *not* be led or facilitated by a healthcare provider. If you need to talk with someone more qualified to handle any anxiety, side-effects, etc. please contact your physician. Prior to each YAC Hangout, we’ll send you a link to the video chat that you’ll follow to attend. The Hangouts have a “drop-in” policy so no need to alert anyone if you can or cannot make it that week. Each YAC Hangout is open to any young adult cancer survivor or caregiver who signs up and is available!
What will you need? A computer (or a smartphone or tablet), a headset with a microphone, and a webcam.
And, that’s it! If you haven’t already, sign up and attend a YAC Hangout!
How To Meet Young Adult Cancer Survivors
Have you been looking for an easy way to meet other young adult cancer survivors? Have you looked around the infusion room or your local support group and thought, “wow…I am SO young compared to the rest of these people!” Yea…me too.
That’s where Lacuna Loft’s YAC (Young Adult Cancer) Hangouts come into play! Instead of a stuffy support group filled with people twice your age, hang out online via video chat with other young adults dealing with cancer. You know that stuff your ‘healthy’ peers don’t understand because they’ve never faced cancer? The young adult cancer survivors at our hangouts totally get it. They get the fatigue, the worry about fertility, the stress on financials, and everything else that young adult cancer brings into your life.
Join us a few times each month for a YAC Hangout! RSVP below and we’ll let you know exactly when we’re hanging out and how to join the video chat. Can’t wait to meet you!
Plus, there’s a hangout tomorrow night (Wednesday, July 19) at 5:30 pm PT / 8:30 pm ET!
YAC Hangouts!
Did you know that we now host online, informal video hangouts on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month? Yep! Every 1st and 3rd Thursday, from 5:30 – 7:30 pm PT / 8:30 – 10:30 pm ET, you can hangout with a group of your young adult cancer peers! Whether you’re a young adult cancer patient, survivor, or caregiver, this is a great opportunity to talk about cancer or anything else under the sun with people who understand what you’ve been through.
In March, we have one remaining hangout on Thursday, March 16!
