// MISSION
Gilda’s Club Grand Rapids is a vibrant, free emotional health support community for children, adults, families, and friends navigating a cancer journey or grieving the death of a loved one.
// KEY SERVICES PROVIDED
Cancer and grief are experiences that connect us. Our comprehensive program meets individuals and families where they are, when they need us, with a variety of social and emotional support options. Services include
professionally facilitated support groups, educational workshops, healthy lifestyle activities, social events, and community- and school-based support for those impacted by cancer or grief. Tailored to the unique needs
of youth, teens, young adults, and adults, our programs ensure that members receive age-appropriate support and meaningful connection. Through in-person, virtual, and hybrid offerings, members can build coping skills, reduce isolation, foster resilience, and promote emotional well-being while navigating life’s challenges in a welcoming,
supportive community.
