Scars of Beauty Peer Support Groups

Coming Soon!

At Scars of Beauty, we believe deeply in the healing power of community. Our Peer Support Groups are designed for women affected by breast cancer, gynecological cancers, or hereditary cancer syndromes such as BRCA. Here, you’ll find emotional support, shared understanding, and a compassionate circle of women who truly “get it.”

Why Join Our Support Group?

Peer support has been shown to significantly improve quality of life for women navigating cancer. Our groups offer:

  • A safe, judgment-free space to express feelings, fears, and triumphs

  • Connection with women who share similar experiences

  • Reliable information and resources to help you make informed decisions

  • Improved coping and emotional well-being

  • A sense of belonging, sisterhood, and hope

What to Expect

Our gatherings are crafted to be warm, welcoming, and inclusive of women dealing with both breast and gynecologic cancers. You can expect:

  • Supportive conversations about treatment, recovery, body image, fertility, intimacy, recurrence fears, and more

  • Topics led by lived experience, not pressure or expectations

  • Confidentiality, ensuring you feel safe to share openly

  • Trauma-informed guidance, grounded in compassion and lived expertise

(We will update meeting dates and schedules as groups resume.)

Who Can Join?

Our support groups are open to women who are:

  • Newly diagnosed with breast or gynecological cancer

  • Undergoing chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, or hormonal treatment

  • Survivors, thrivers, or living with chronic/metastatic cancer

  • Preparing for or recovering from mastectomy, hysterectomy, oophorectomy, reconstruction, or AFC

  • Carriers of BRCA or other hereditary cancer syndromes

If cancer has touched your life, you are welcome here.
