A grassroots, non-profit 501(c)3 organization, Healing Strong is an emerging network of volunteer groups throughout the country that believes healing happens best in circles of support. Group leaders help to educate their community about evidence-based, holistic, non-toxic therapies and solutions that have helped thousands of people recover from advanced disease. Groups are often made up of cancer survivors, cancer thrivers, caregivers, family members, friends, practitioners and wellness warriors, according to the natonal website.

A Healing Strong group in Cumming has been meeting for several years, and new groups in the East Cobb, Sandy Springs, Buford and Roswell areas are getting established.

“We are an independent group of volunteers empowered by Healing Strong curriculum and resources,” says Monica Tempel, a Healing Strong leader. “Our mission is to educate, connect and encourage those seeking comprehensive natural strategies to heal strong and stay strong.”
