Stem Cell Transplant Support Group
If you plan to or have already undergone a stem cell transplant, the Stem Cell Transplant Support Group offers a safe and understanding environment for you before and after your transplant journey.
This group provides emotional support, practical advice and a sense of community among those with similar experiences. You can discuss your concerns, share coping strategies and receive encouragement from others who understand the challenges of the transplant process.
Meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month. Please register for each Zoom meeting before the meeting date. Registration will close once we reach the maximum of eight participants per session.
Cost: Free
For questions, contact Aryeh Lazar, LCSW, at 714-335-8439. Please allow two to three business days for a response.

Please read before registering:
The privacy of your health information is important to UCI Health and is required by law. As a participant in a Group Support Session (GSS), whether virtually or in-person, you and the other attendees will have the option to discuss health information in the presence of other attendees, family members, caregivers, friends, staff and/or clinicians.
Whether you are an attendee, family member, caregiver, or friend accompanying an attendee, you agree to respect the privacy of others by keeping information that is shared in the session confidential and not repeating any of the information discussed in the clinical group setting. The GSS team will also keep all information shared in session confidential and not repeat that information outside of the clinical group setting, unless the information raises public health and/or safety concerns or under a regulatory obligation to disclose. The GSS is not a substitute for medical care or treatment of medical emergencies. Participation in the GSS is optional, and a decision to refrain from participating will not impact future care provided to you by UCI Health. Consult with your clinical care provider for any questions of a personal nature you are not comfortable sharing in the group setting, or for medical care.
By registering for this GSS you understand that information you share during the session may be heard by the entire group. Your acknowledgement also means that you will respect the confidentiality of the other members of the group by not revealing names or medical, personal, or any other identifying information about others in attendance outside of the clinical group setting. Furthermore, you understand that taking photos, video, or other recordings during the GSS is prohibited and agree to refrain from doing so.
