Counselling and Support


Facing a serious illness such as cancer is stressful. Our goal is to help cancer patients and family members cope the best they can with their feelings, and with the difficulties and challenges that cancer can bring.

The Alberta Cancer Board's departments of Psychosocial and Spiritual Resources in Edmonton, at the Cross Cancer Institute, and in Calgary, at the Holy Cross site and the Tom Baker Cancer Centre, offer many programs to help you deal with the issues that may arise.


Our services are confidential and free of charge.
