New Member Meeting
New Member Meetings are conveniently scheduled 4-5 times a month to make it easy for you to attend. These sessions can include any number of prospective members and a staff member.  Everyone tells his or her personal cancer story, and the facilitator relates how the Gilda’s Club program applies to specific issues. The session concludes with a tour of the clubhouse and the scheduling of a Customized Membership Plan (CMP) meeting if the person wishes to become a member.   

Customized Membership Plan (CMP)
This one-hour, one-on-one collaborative discussion with licensed or certified mental health professional allows each prospective member to structure a personal plan for emotional and social support at Gilda’s Club, utilizing those parts of the program that best serve the individual’s needs and interests.   

Welcome
When a CMP has been completed, a welcome letter is sent and a follow- up call is made to answer any additional questions.
