Welcome to Casting For Recovery Tennessee-2 |
 Casting
For Recovery ® (CFR) is a national non-profit support and educational
program for women who have or have had breast cancer.CFR provides an opportunity for women whose lives have been profoundly affected by the disease to gather in a beautiful, natural setting and learn fly-fishing, "a sport for life." Just as importantly, we offer an opportunity to meet new friends and have fun. Casting for Recovery’s program incorporates counseling, educational services and the sport of fly-fishing to promote mental and physical healing. Founded in 1996, Casting for Recovery offers 2 ½ day retreats, which include lodging, meals, and professional instruction, for breast cancer survivors across the country at no cost to the participants.
While the retreats provide an avenue for social support and group interactions, reducing the feeling of isolation many survivors might have, the dynamics of fly fishing provide a healing connection to the natural world, relieving everyday stressors and promoting a sense of calm. Fly fishing techniques are well suited to provide a gentle exercise for joint and soft tissue mobility. Casting for Recovery provides trained volunteer facilitators who staff each retreat including: a psychotherapist, a health care professional (e.g. physical therapist, nurse), and four fly fishing instructors. We are committed to socioeconomic and cultural diversity. For
