Guiding You Through Challenges

Coping with cancer can present significant challenges, affecting various aspects of your life including family dynamics, work or school commitments, financial stability and future planning.

Practical and Emotional Support for You

During this time, you and your loved ones may experience feelings of sadness, anxiety and strained relationships as you adapt to the impact of the illness. Maintaining a sense of control may seem difficult. Our oncology social workers understand these challenges and provide both practical and emotional support to help you manage daily responsibilities such as childcare, household tasks and communication with family, friends and coworkers.

Our licensed oncology social workers are dedicated to helping you address your concerns and are available to provide practical assistance, support and individual, family and group counseling. Additionally, we organize support and educational programs and regularly connect you with community resources to further assist you during your treatment and care experience with us.

Before accessing our psychiatric oncology services, you must meet with a social worker if you are a new patient.
