Arms Around Arlington, AKA The Center for Cancer Support & Education is a small, grassroots, high impact organization providing cancer support and wellness services to patients, caregivers, family members, and health care professionals.

Mission Statement

The Center for Cancer Support & Education empowers and supports people touched by cancer, their caregivers and loved ones, by offering resources to enhance life as they move forward.

The Center began with an annual day of connection -- Arms Around Arlington -- for those affected by cancer, and grew to offer support groups and services for people who are dealing with or have survived cancer, as well as their caregivers.

With generous funding from several sources, The Center continues to grow and expand services to a diverse group from the many communities surrounding our home office in Arlington, MA.

The Center serves the 10 communities surrounding Arlington: Belmont, Burlington, Cambridge, Concord, Everett, Somerville, Lexington, Medford, Winchester and Woburn.

All support groups are offered at no cost. Please call 718-648-0312 for more information or to register.

If you like what we do, then please feel free to make an investment in us.

What others Say about programs at the Center

"The Center is a place where my cancer is not an issue but rather a common bond with others"--Kate, RN, 59, Healing Meditation Workshop participant

"The Support Group has been essential to me...giving me a forum to help and support others as they had helped and supported me." --General Cancer Support Group participant

"My Polarity and Healing Meditation sessions with Deb have been incredible experiences. In each one I have been able to access inner strength and resources that I have never realized existed. This has helped me to accept and process the fear and anxiety that came with my cancer diagnosis. Through my work with Deb I have an outlet to release the tension and struggle that block my ability to enjoy the life I have each day. I have a deeper sense of calm, joy and healing because of my time with Deb. She is truly gifted and I am so grateful for the time I have been able to spend with her." --Meditation Workshop and Polarity Therapy Session participant 

"Getting back in touch with my creativity really released the blocks I have been experiencing with all the stress in my life." --Expressive Arts Workshop participant

"I am now more committed to focus on my breathing to relax and be less fearful. I want to thank you for teaching me the techniques..." --Wellness Wednesdays participant

"The Center has helped me have deeper, more meaningful conversations with my spouse and friends." --General Cancer Group participant

"Expressive arts, music, guided meditation, and Reiki, are a powerful, yet gentle combination of tools for healing. I loved the experience and I feel better already." --Wellness Workshop participant
