SUMMARY:Women Speaking Freely
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Women Speaking Freely! In our vibrant\, all-women virtual support group\, we discuss a myriad of topics\, while steering clear of treatment specifics.

SUMMARY:Monthly Art Friends Art Class
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to AnCan’s regularly scheduled guided art class! These free sessions are open to everyone and thoughtfully designed with our chronic illness and cancer community in mind. \nEach class features a pre-planned\, step-by-step art lesson led by one of AnCan’s instructors. No prior art experience is required. Participants are encouraged to work at their own pace\, and modifications are always offered to support energy levels\, physical limitations\, cognitive fatigue\, and access to art supplies. \nIn addition to learning creative techniques\, these sessions are intended to support mindfulness and emotional well-being. Art can be a grounding practice—offering a moment to slow down\, focus on the present\, and reconnect with yourself through gentle creative expression. \nOur goal is to create a welcoming\, low-pressure space where creativity can feel restorative\, calming\, and accessible. We do our best to make every session as accommodating and inclusive as possible\, so you can focus on creating in a way that feels right for you. \nSessions take place every 3rd Thursday at 8pm Eastern time \nRegister for each individual monthly class \nRegister for August HERE

SUMMARY:Under-45 Multiple Sclerosis
DESCRIPTION:This group provides a chance for individuals under 45 (or around that age) with MS to share common experiences and concerns\, provide and receive emotional support\, and get information on various aspects of living well with MS. We often feel that the things we face when we’re younger can be different. Meetings are open to anyone\, regardless of location. \n4th Thursdays of the month – 7:30 pm

SUMMARY:Monthly Art Friends Art Class
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to AnCan’s regularly scheduled guided art class! These free sessions are open to everyone and thoughtfully designed with our chronic illness and cancer community in mind. \nEach class features a pre-planned\, step-by-step art lesson led by one of AnCan’s instructors. No prior art experience is required. Participants are encouraged to work at their own pace\, and modifications are always offered to support energy levels\, physical limitations\, cognitive fatigue\, and access to art supplies. \nIn addition to learning creative techniques\, these sessions are intended to support mindfulness and emotional well-being. Art can be a grounding practice—offering a moment to slow down\, focus on the present\, and reconnect with yourself through gentle creative expression. \nOur goal is to create a welcoming\, low-pressure space where creativity can feel restorative\, calming\, and accessible. We do our best to make every session as accommodating and inclusive as possible\, so you can focus on creating in a way that feels right for you. \nSessions take place every 3rd Thursday at 8pm Eastern time \nRegister for each individual monthly class \nRegistration page coming soon

SUMMARY:Under-45 Multiple Sclerosis
DESCRIPTION:This group provides a chance for individuals under 45 (or around that age) with MS to share common experiences and concerns\, provide and receive emotional support\, and get information on various aspects of living well with MS. We often feel that the things we face when we’re younger can be different. Meetings are open to anyone\, regardless of location. \n4th Thursdays of the month – 7:30 pm
