At Green Bay Oncology, we believe that caring for your mental health during cancer treatment is just as important as treating the disease itself. From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll find support not only for your medical needs, but also for your emotional well-being.
A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming. It’s completely normal to experience a wide range of emotions, including sadness, anxiety, fear, or depression. That’s why mental health support for cancer patients is one of our top priorities, starting at the time of diagnosis and continuing through treatment, recovery, and survivorship.
How We Support Your Mental Health Through Cancer
Research shows that emotional and psychological support improves quality of life, enhances treatment outcomes, and may even contribute to longer survival. We take this seriously. During your first visit, our care team checks in on how you’re feeling emotionally. From there, we offer a variety of tools and services to support you and your loved ones throughout your cancer journey.
Onsite Counseling and Emotional Support Services
Our team includes dedicated social workers who offer personalized emotional support during cancer treatment, stress management strategies, and practical coping tools. They can help guide and empower your decision making and connect you with community and financial resources. Additionally, we can refer you to outside specialists as needed.Cancer Support Groups
We host monthly cancer support groups in a safe, welcoming environment. These groups help you connect with others who understand what you’re going through and provide a sense of community and encouragement.Complementary Integrative Therapies
Healing takes many forms. We help facilitate access to integrative options like meditation, massage, and acupuncture. These complementary therapies can ease anxiety, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being.Trusted Mental Health Resources
We partner with organizations like the American Cancer Society and other national mental health groups to ensure you have access to the most reliable tools, education, and support materials for your emotional care.Caregiver Emotional Support
Cancer also impacts your loved ones. We offer resources and counseling to help your caregivers and loved ones manage their own stress and emotional needs while supporting you through treatment and recovery.
At Green Bay Oncology, you are never alone. Our approach to cancer care is holistic – we’re committed to treating the whole person, not just the disease. By integrating mental wellness into oncology care, we help patients and families build strength, resilience, and hope at every stage.
This Mental Health Awareness Month, we encourage you to reach out for support, whether for yourself or someone you care about. Together, we can break the stigma around mental health and make emotional well-being a priority for all.
