Self Help Books

Product Description
Cancer strikes thousands of North Americans every year. With the diagnosis often come feelings of despair, loneliness, and fear, which neither a doctor’s care nor the support of family or friends can alleviate. For many the answer lies in cancer self-help groups, which now number in the hundreds across the country. Leadership From the Heart, using the expertise of dedicated facilitators of cancer support groups, along with the poignant stories of group members, offers inspiration ad ideas to those who want to start a new group, facilitate an existing one, or deal with problems. Including a thorough listing of resources, this manual is an invaluable tool for the healing journey of self-help. (2000)… More >>
