CSC Atlanta

Providing emotional support and psychosocial care for individuals impacted by cancer, including their families and friends.

Cancer Support Community Atlanta (CSC Atlanta) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free support, education, and hope to individuals affected by cancer. Since opening our doors in 1997, CSC Atlanta has offered a variety of programs, including support groups, nutrition classes, educational seminars, stress reduction classes, and social activities, all in a welcoming, home-like environment.

In 1999, CSC Atlanta formed a formal partnership with Northside Hospital Cancer Institute , becoming the provider of psychosocial oncology services to enhance support for their patients. This collaboration has allowed CSC Atlanta to expand our reach and impact, ensuring that individuals facing cancer receive comprehensive support throughout their journey.

CSC Atlanta is part of the Cancer Support Community , a global network that traces its roots to The Wellness Community, founded in 1982 in Santa Monica, California, by Dr. Harold Benjamin and his wife, Harriet. Their mission was to provide social and emotional support to cancer patients and their families. In 2009, The Wellness Community merged with Gilda’s Club Worldwide to form the Cancer Support Community, uniting their efforts to offer comprehensive support to those affected by cancer.
