Cancer and its treatments don’t only affect patients
physically. Many survivors are met with a storm of emotions at some point
during and/or after treatment. Our social workers are here to help survivors
work through these emotions with the goal of making their cancer journey as
positive as possible.
Our ten licensed social workers provide compassionate,
professional support to cancer survivors, their caregivers and family members
free of charge. The first time a patient has an appointment at Highlands
Oncology Group or Landmark Cancer Center, one of our social workers is there to
meet them to discuss any services we may be able to offer.
“Hope Cancer Resources gives hope to people like me. When
everything else is so terrifying, it is so relieving to know that organizations
like this exist. I am eternally grateful for everything Hope Cancer Resources
provided. Thank you!” -Grateful Patient
We offer counseling and many support groups in order to
help patients and their loved ones better navigate the emotional side of
cancer. Our social workers meet with current patients, survivors, friends and
family as a small group, a couple or individually. We also offer nine support
groups to provide patients with an opportunity to connect with others who
understand what they’re going through. Click here to learn more about our
support groups.
If you or someone you know would like to learn more about
the emotional support services we offer, please contact Miki Biggers, LCSW,
OSW-C, Director of Social Work Services at miki.biggers@hopecancerresources.org
