About This Initiative

Heal with care and community

More than 30 years ago, long before integrative cancer care was mainstream, we launched the Cancer Help Program. Since then, it’s become clear that cancer can be an invitation to heal our body, mind, and spirit. Through our collaborative of cancer-related programs, we research and share practical tools and science-backed resources. And we put them into practice with retreats, trainings, and spaces for healing.
