Prostaid Calgary is inviting the general public to attend an informational meeting this October, as per a recent announcement.
-- Prostaid Calgary offers a wide range of educational resources and emotional support services for the spouses and caregivers of those with prostate cancer. They have just released the post-meeting report from their September info session, and are now in the process of preparing for the next meeting to be held on October 15th.

The monthly meetings are held by the Warriors and Wives & Caregivers groups, two committees offering advice and community to cancer patients and their caregivers, respectively. Each meeting features a trusted expert from the healthcare field delivering a focused presentation on a topic relating to prostate cancer.
For example, September’s talk featured Dr. Linda Carlson, who led a discussion about the stress that cancer can bring to the household, and how to use mindfulness to manage it. As with all meetings held by Prostaid Calgary, physical attendance at the CKE community center was encouraged, though remote access via Zoom was provided as well.
The speaker for the upcoming October meeting has not yet been announced, and will likely appear on the Prostaid Calgary meetings page a few weeks in advance of the meeting date. In the meantime, readers can access a deep dive on September’s topic via the monthly Prostaid Digital Examiner publication.
As the group explains, community and solidarity are essential components of any successful cancer recovery strategy. This is corroborated by the NIH, who reported in 2017 on the vital importance of “third spaces” in cancer treatment; that is, spaces away from the home and hospital where patients can relax, feel emotional connection, and enjoy their time together.
This is the stated mission of Prostaid Calgary: to not only provide information, but to extend the hand of friendship to the millions impacted by this disease. Current and former members of the organization have remarked on the lasting relationships they forged during and after meetings, and the overwhelming sense of shared community they felt while there.
Those interested in attending the monthly meeting can stay up-to-date on the most recent announcements through the group’s Facebook page, or through the “Meetings” page at the link below.
