Our oncology social workers offer patients and caregivers a respectful, supportive and judgment free place to explore facing cancer together. No one should have to walk alone.
Some of the topics faced when coping and adjusting to a cancer diagnosis or cancer treatment include:
Brief counseling with an oncology social worker can help with adjustment and coping from a cancer diagnosis, and understanding treatment choices.
We understand that caregivers are an essential part of the treatment team. The Oncology social workers offer brief counseling to caregivers with a focus on Caregiver stress, the impact of cancer on family relationships, care at end-of-life, and grief and loss.
There are a variety of groups offered here at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center and in the community. Contact us to find the right group for you.
Please call 916-734-5959 and ask to speak with an oncology social worker or talk with your doctor or nurse about a referral.
