Individual Counseling for Oncology Caregivers
Are you caring for a family member with cancer? Then you are an oncology caregiver.
Caregivers are an essential part of the care team for every person diagnosed with cancer. Even if you are not the person with the cancer diagnosis, you are impacted by your loved one’s cancer diagnosis.
The stress of cancer caregiving may impact your mood, your relationships, your ability to work, to care for children, or your ability to take care of yourself.
UT Southwestern Cancer Center values the role of oncology caregiver, and believes that you deserve access to individual care for your unique needs. Individual counseling for oncology caregivers focuses on:
- The importance of self-care
- Processing thoughts and feelings
- Learning healthy coping techniques
If you are interested in an individual counseling session for concerns related to being an oncology caregiver, please request a referral from the patient’s oncology team.
