General FAQ

Look Good Feel Better is Canada’s only national charitable program dedicated to helping people manage the appearance-related and emotional effects of cancer and its treatment. At the heart of the program are our complimentary workshops which empower people to feel like themselves again.  We provide tips, tools and techniques in Skincare & Makeup, Wigs & Scarves, Bras & Prostheses and dedicated workshops for Teens and Men.  We’ve expanded to workshop offerings to include Post-treatment Nutrition, Advanced Skincare, Nail Care and more. Led by expert volunteers, in a small group setting, the workshops offer a supportive and welcoming environment. This vital programming in supportive care encourages positive mental health and well-being. 

Workshops are offered in-person at more than 80 locations across Canada, as well as online. Visit our Workshop Finder to find the one nearest you.
