Canada has over 60 Prostate Cancer Support Groups that meet once a month. This Richmond group in British Columbia is founded in 2013 by volunteers and focused on providing help to Chinese-speaking men, but everyone is welcome. We speak English, Cantonese and Mandarin, meet on the second Thursday of every month from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the Seniors Centre of Minoru Centre for Active Living (7191 Granville Avenue, Richmond, BC V6Y 1N9 Multipurpose Room 1 (1033)). Join us for the professional presentation and talk to other men and family members who have been dealing with prostate cancer for weeks, months or even years.

No registration is required and all ages are welcome. Please swipe your Facility Pass ($36/year for seniors 55+ or spouses) or pay a $5 drop-in fee at the front desk when arriving for each session.

If you want to chat one on one with a survivor, you may drop in our walking club. The Richmond Blue Walkers walk 5-10 km on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 am-11 am, along the beautiful river dykes and parks in Richmond (Walk in the Richmond Shopping Centre during the rainy days or cold seasons).

September 3, 2014 Wednesday 7-9pm  LIVING WELL WITH ED (ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION) SUPPORT GROUP FOR MEN
Men generally have a difficult time talking about issues concerning their erections. Studies have shown that even general practitioners have a difficult time talking to their male patients about ED. Yet, when men present with ED, they have many emotional feelings that accompany their ED; depression, isolation, unworthiness, unmanly, unloved, and incompetence.
The LIVING WELL WITH ED SUPPORT GROUP is open to men only aged 19‐90 and will help deal with these feelings and reduce stress and anxiety through empowerment, understanding, acceptance, information sharing, emotional identification, and role modeling.
Meetings will be on the first Wednesday of each month.
