Abstract
For almost 25 years, The Wellness Community (TWC), an international nonprofit organization, has been providing support, education, and hope for people affected by cancer. TWC’s professionally led support groups, educational workshops, and stressreduction programs are anchored in peer-reviewed, evidence-based research. TWC utilizes the Patient Active Concept, created by founder Harold Benjamin, PhD, which states that people with cancer can learn vital skills to regain control, reduce feelings of isolation, and restore hope—regardless of the stage of their disease. In a home-like setting, people with cancer can connect with and learn from each other. Today, there are 21 Wellness Communities across the United States, five in development, 28 satellites within the United States, two centers abroad (Tokyo, Japan, and Tel Aviv, Israel), and The Virtual Wellness Community online. All TWC programs are provided free of charge.
