These one-and-a-half hour, co-ed, “parent-free” sessions provide teens with professional advice on appearance, nutrition and social concerns during cancer treatment, as well as a backpack full of free skincare products and gear. With only five to ten teens per session, there’s lots of personal attention — so teens can get hands-on experience with complexion correction, hair tips and headwear, while hanging with other teens who know just what they are going through.

Find out more about LGFB for Teens on 2bMe. To locate sessions, contact the local American Cancer Society office in the cities listed or call 1-800-395-LOOK.
