CompleteLife Group Support
First Mondays is a unique program designed to create a community of healing support, education and enjoyment for participants. It is held the first Monday evening of each month in the Indiana Cancer Pavilion.
First Mondays begins with a light meal in the atrium in the cancer pavilion. CompleteLife staff members strive to create a comfortable environment where patients, family members and group leaders relax, socialize and build connections.
For the remainder of the evening, participants meet with their individual groups. Group topics and themes may vary and have included the following:
- Walking with Cancer
- Caregivers Support Group
- Coping Support for Multiple Myeloma Patients and Caregivers
- Art Expression for Children of Parents with Cancer
- Empowered Living for Those with Metastatic/Recurrent Cancer
- Beginning the Grief / Bereavement Journey
First Mondays is a community-wide program open to those diagnosed with cancer and their families, not only those patients being treated at the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center. First Mondays is offered without charge to participants; however, prior registration is required.
