Fran’s Place – Center for Cancer Counseling

The Center for Cancer Counseling’s mission is to help cancer patients and their family members achieve and maintain a quality of life that is productive, fulfilling, rewarding, successful and happy.

A grant from TCRF will help ensure that patient-centered, Psycho-Oncology support services are available, at No Charge, to cancer patients who are underserved, and/or struggling financially due to their diagnosis or from the economic impact of COVID19 for approximately 200 sessions for newly referred patients and families in need. These personalized services will provide the support, psychoeducation, and encouragement needed to help patients and families stay as psychologically stable and future oriented as possible. Providing specialized psychotherapeutic support will improve quality of life, decrease symptoms related to stress and distress, increase tolerance of treatments, positively impact and improve emotional, social, psychological and physical well-being for patients and their families.
