Dear Tribal Cancer Patients, Caregivers, Survivors, Family and Friends,
The Elders Council is happy to announce the first Healing Tribal Strong support group for all Tunica Biloxi citizens touched by cancer was formed earlier this year.
The mission of Healing Tribal Strong is to provide a forum for All tribal
families and friends. The journey is hard and some days are tougher than others. Having a place to share experiences, laugh, or just relax and listen in the company of supportive tribal citizens is our group’s aim. There is no judgment; but much compassion and respect for each person. You are invited to join us at our informal get-together each Sunday, 4-4:30 pm CST via Zoom. We also have a private Facebook group for continued connection and support.
You may contact me, Janis Summerlin, or Joanie Arteta, for any
questions you may have. Hope you can join us for this exciting support opportunity.
