Pediatric Psychosocial Care

Cancer is a physical disease that can also impact your emotional health. That's why services that address your mental health — also known as "psychosocial" — are an important part of a comprehensive cancer treatment plan.

The experience of a serious illness like cancer affects the whole family. It is common for children, parents, siblings, and other caregivers to feel a range of emotions and to need support through this experience.

More information about how we support your whole family through the mental, emotional, and social effects of treatment can be found on the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute website.
