Our speaker was Patti Brown of Wellness Within.  They offer support services for cancer patients, survivors,caretakers and families.  Their services are for mental, physical and emotional needs.  
The majority of cancer patients suffer from depression, but only 10% seek treatment for it.  Their statistics clearly showed how partcipants improved after a 6 week course.
Their services and classes are free.  Funding is through donations, sponsors and a small amount of grants.  Anyone is welcome to check them out and use their library at their Roseville office.
