Psychosocial Services
Resources for Patients, Families and Caregivers
Cancer patients, as well as their families, friends and caregivers, face a variety of unique challenges. To help you meet these challenges at all stages of treatment and recovery, the Samuel Oschin Cancer Center offers a broad range of Supportive Care Services that address the needs of the "whole person"; empowering you to better manage the physical, emotional, social and spiritual impact of living with cancer. We attempt to meet the needs of all ages, cultures and languages. 
Designed to complement medical care and optimize treatment, Supportive Care Services help patients cope with their cancer and take an active role in their own healing and wellness on multiple levels. From symptom relief and nutritional guidance, to emotional counseling and caregiver support, our goal is to make a positive difference in each patient's quality of life, and in the lives of the people who care about them.
In collaboration with your physician team, Supportive Care Services are available to address the full spectrum of support including:
- Emotional Counseling and Support Groups
- Caregiver Support
- Community Resources and Advocacy
- Nutritional Education and Counseling
- Pain and Symptom Management Services
- Integrative and Complementary Therapies
