Peer circles in English
Small, moderated gatherings for patients and caregivers. Meet monthly in Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, and The Hague.
For English-speaking internationals
A community that speaks your language.
Cancer is hard. Cancer in a country that isn't yours is a different kind of hard. You don't have to do either alone.
CSN exists for the people who do not automatically fit into the default pathway — expats whose families live abroad, internationals without a local network, refugees navigating a second language and a second life at once. Our support is warm, confidential, and free.
What we offer
Three things we do well.
1-to-1 matching
We pair you with someone who has walked a similar path — same diagnosis, same stage, or same questions.
Practical navigation
Help understanding the Dutch system — insurance, second opinions, translation, and what to ask your oncologist.
How peer support works
Three simple steps.
- 01
Tell us a little
A short intake by WhatsApp or form. Just the essentials — we don't need your medical history.
- 02
We match you
Within a week, we connect you with someone who gets it. In your language where possible.
- 03
You set the pace
Coffee, walk, phone call, or silence. You lead. We are here as long as you want us.
Ready when you are.
No forms to fill in first. No commitment. Just a conversation.
