Our emotional support program in (GEO) connects caregivers directly with empathetic cancer survivors who get what they're going through.
In these one-on-one sessions, caregivers can talk freely about their worries, seek advice, and find encouragement.

The importance of cancer caregiver emotional support cannot be overstated. It serves as a crucial lifeline for those caring for loved ones with cancer, providing them with a platform to express their feelings and navigate their caregiving journey with confidence and compassion. This support is vital for several reasons:
- Safe Space for Expression: It offers a judgment-free zone for caregivers to share their feelings, fears, and concerns.
- Community and Understanding: Caregivers can connect with others in similar situations, reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness.
- Sharing and Validation: Through support groups and one-on-one sessions, caregivers can exchange stories and experiences, finding validation and learning from others.
- Encouragement and Empathy: Emotional support opportunities provide caregivers with empathy, validation, and the encouragement needed to persevere in their caregiving roles.
- Personalized Support: One-on-one sessions offer tailored assistance and personal attention to address specific challenges and concerns.
- Emotional Well-being: By focusing on their emotional health, caregivers can provide better care for their loved ones and improve their own quality of life.
CanCare will match you with a cancer survivor or caregiver with similar cancer and treatment history. If there are other specifics you are seeking in your support volunteer, please note that on your request form and we will do our best to find the best match.
Most of our support volunteers provide support over the phone and/or through a combination of email and text. CanCare volunteers provide support to clients in all 50 states and we have volunteers in 27 different states. Though one-on-one cancer support often takes place over physical distance, the emotional connection experienced often creates a feeling of closeness.
The length of time that a one-on-one support connection lasts, depends on the client and volunteer. We know that the cancer journey often happens in many different chapters and CanCare volunteers are available for the entire journey. We want you to have a survivor or caregiver by your side for however long you need us.
