Canada has over 70 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 Seniors 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. Or join the free Zoom meeting at the same time.

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 Tuesday to Friday from 9 am-11 am, along the beautiful river dykes and parks in Richmond (Walk in the Richmond Shopping Centre during the rainy/cold days).

The Gendered Dimensions of Men’s Post-Prostatectomy Experiences - UBC Research Project

 https://menshealthresearch.ubc.ca/


Why are we doing this study?
The study objective is to advance the gendered dimensions of men’s post-prostatectomy experiences using narrative methodologies by integrating men’s narratives and storytelling methods to identify and describe post-prostatectomy experiences related to mental health, intimate partner relationships, peer support, and using healthcare services. These insights have the potential to contribute to the development of targeted, gender-responsive interventions to support the emotional and relational well-being of men and their intimate partners post-prostatectomy.
