Spiritual Cancer
Support Group Set

The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer
Institute, in collaboration with Rabbi
Michael Moskowitz of Temple Shir
Shalom, announces the fall session of
its faith-based spiritual support group
for Jewish cancer patients, survivors
and family members.
The group will meet 7-8:30 p.m.
Tuesday evenings at the temple for
nine weeks beginning Oct. 23. During
the course of the group, participants
will:
• Explore how religious beliefs and
Jewish practices can be used as strate-
gies to help patients feel more in con-
trol of the cancer experience;
• Explore personal spirit-building
with hands-on experiences;
• Identify the tools available within
Judaism — such as one's belief in God,
prayer and ritual — that can provide
comfort, hope and coping and reframe
negative thoughts into positive ones;
• Be supported by others living
through a similar experience.
The group will be led by therapist
Brenda Beron and social worker
Patricia Milner Sachs, both cancer sur-
vivors.
Sessions will also address topics such
as uncertainty, helplessness, lack of
control, the doctor-patient relation-
ship, treatment related concerns, self
and body image, the effect illness has
on family, reordering life and personal
goals, social relationships, and "Why
me?"
To register, call Pat Sachs by Oct. 18
at 800-KARMANOS (800 527-6266)
or at (248) 354-4188. There is no
charge.
