What the service does
The Cancer Counselling Service provides short-term counselling for people affected by cancer. The service is available to people living with cancer as well as their family members and carers. The counsellors can offer strategies to help people cope with the impact a cancer diagnosis can have on identity, relationships, family and emotions. This may include overwhelming feelings, anxiety or uncertainty. The service is for adults aged 18 years and over. People can access this service if they live in the Australian Capital Territory and surrounding regions or are receiving cancer treatment or specialist services in the ACT.
