ONE-ON-ONE COUNSELING
CST social workers provide counseling to patients and families affected by a cancer diagnosis, at no cost. Our social workers help patients tackle the often overwhelming feelings of anger and even depression that can accompany this disease.
Patients often find it helpful to discuss emotional concerns, changes in family relationships, caring for young children when one has cancer, employment issues and more.
