AACSN was created to provide emotional support for those coping with cancer, as well as their families and friends.
The organization accomplishes this through a number of different programs and activities.
AACSN is planning a series of workshops addressing cancer and fatigue, Eastern medicine, relaxation and health exercises such as Qi Gong and Tai Chi, and nutrition.
AACSN is also working with a team of health care professionals on a program to provide cancer patients and their families a forum to discuss their experiences, either in a group setting or matched with a survivor or patient undergoing similar treatment.
