"Look Good... Feel Better" for the American Cancer Society


We are official! Certified to teach the
ACS's "Look Good... Feel Better" program
to all women going through cancer treatments.

Giving Love, Showing Support and Encouraging Hope!

Patients in various stages of treatment receive make-over tips and personal attention from professionals trained to meet their needs. They also use and take home complimentary cosmetic kits in their appropriate skin tones (light, medium, dark, extra dark) with helpful instruction booklets. Professional advice is provided on wigs, scarves and accessories. More than 50,000 individuals participate each year in small groups of five to ten, offering each patient a supportive circle, as well.

By encouraging your friend or family member to attend a Look Good…Feel Better group program, you help promote an important tool for coping. A recent study showed that only a small percentage of female patients knew about or attended any type of support program. Instead, patients said they relied on the advice of family and friends to deal with these concerns. So what can you do for a woman close to you who is experiencing the appearance-related side effects of cancer?
