The Gerlinger Support Group Room at the Community Health Education Center (CHEC) in Salem, Oregon, provides a comfortable setting for people to gather and share information in groups devoted to everything from cancer support to mental health. Support groups can provide friendship, compassion, care-giving tips, new ideas—and hope. They also bridge you to local support and resources. Support Groups Learn more from the links below.
