The R.E.D. Rose Breast Cancer Support Group is for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, those living with metastatic breast cancer, and their family members. Join to talk about your battle against breast cancer, or if you have already overcome this fight and want to share your experiences to help those who currently suffer from breast cancer. Feel the confidence of being in a safe and reliable space where by sharing experiences you could identify, accept and express the feelings and emotions that are experienced throughout the illness.

NCC’s Sun Smart Nevada and its youth component Sun Smart Schools are two sure ways partner collaboration and volunteer support are helping create healthier communities across Nevada. The programs work to build a culture of sun safety for all Nevadans while promoting healthy outdoor activity.
The Powerful Tools for Caregivers workshop series continues in 2022 with three programs offered January through March. This program gives caregivers the skills to care for themselves while also caring for someone else.
The best thing I got out of the workshop was a sense of community. Knowing there are others who face similar challenges, gives you hope to continue facing yours.

Sessions are offered in-person in Henderson and Fernley, and virtually in either English or Spanish.
Caregivers, you are essential!
Are you taking care of an adult relative, partner, friend or parent? We understand how difficult caregiving can be and the many challenges it holds. Powerful Tools for Caregivers gives you the skills to care for yourself while caring for someone else. By taking care of your own health and well-being, you become a better caregiver. We hope that by taking this 6-week workshop, caregivers will be able to better manage emotions, increase self-confidence and self-care behaviors, and use local resources.
