Patient and Family Support

To help patients and families cope with the emotional and practical problems associated with cancer, we offer the following services:

Individual and family counseling
Counseling helps manage depression, anxiety, grief and fear. Relaxation, interactive guided imagery and hypnotherapy services also are available.

Support groups
General and cancer specific support groups for patients, family and friends provide guidance and hope from others who have experienced the diagnosis of cancer.

  • Support groups provide cancer patients and families with a loving, safe environment to share their experience.
    Breast Cancer Support Group meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month from noon - 1 p.m. in the Breast Cancer Resource Center, Flagstaff campus.

All groups meet at the cancer center. For more information, please contact in Flagstaff at 928 773 2322.

Circle of Friends
This program is for newly diagnosed cancer patients. Circle of Friends is a one-on-one peer support program that connects patients with experienced cancer survivors who act as a resource and offer support during and after the treatment process.

Volunteers are cancer survivors who:

  • have successfully completed cancer treatment

  • have a positive outlook about their cancer experience

  • are willing to share their time with newly diagnosed patients

  • attend training sessions

  • keep patient information shared confidential
