Support Groups

Support Groups are peer-support communities that offer emotional and practical help.

Support Groups are peer-led support communities. We believe there is a strong correlation between mental, physical and spiritual wellness. Peer support is not professional therapy, but a group of leaders who have a heart for those who are hurting.

Support Groups that meet at Cornerstone are for anyone in West Michigan who could use some support.

We welcome you to our in-person group! This is a place where a caring group of peers understands your grief journey, when others may not.

Our leaders are welcoming and committed to helping you through grief to more joy. They understand and empathize well, because they have their own grief stories.

They welcome you to join this care group at your own pace and comfort, and they will care deeply for you no matter what.

Registration Fee covers the cost of your book. If you are in need of a scholarship to cover the cost of your book, please contact Rhoni Kaastra, at 616-698-3170 x1007.

Navigating Prostate Cancer: A Group for Men (84th St Campus)

1st and 3rd Tuesday (May Only)
3rd Tuesday (June, July, August)
6:30-8pm
84th St. Campus | 1675 84th St. SE, Caledonia, MI 49316

Nearly a quarter million men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. It is the second most diagnosed cancer in men.

Even with so many men being diagnosed, treated or living with prostate cancer, many men feel alone. Most men, despite having loving and supportive family and friends, need someone to talk with who understands, because they are walking the same path. Don’t let a prostate cancer diagnosis leave you feeling frightened and isolated.

No cost, and no signup is necessary.
