Emotional Support
It’s important to be surrounded by people who support you through your journey. Our team of experts in oncology is here to provide you and your family with psychological and emotional support during this time in your life.
People entering the complex world of cancer care face challenges that can leave them feeling overwhelmed, afraid and alone. Sometimes talking to even the most supportive family members and friends may be difficult. Reaching out to others can provide emotional strength and support to help you live with cancer.
Imerman Angels is a resource for emotional support. Imerman Angels matches you with someone who has been treated for the same diagnosis as you. Your Imerman Angel offers hope and inspirational support from someone who has walked in your shoes. Imerman also offers Mentor Angels for caregivers (spouses, children, parents, and other family and friends).
