Confidential counseling sessions with social workers are held in private offices. Social workers also provide information on support groups, housing, transportation, and other resources. Stress reduction, relaxation, and self-help audio and video tapes can be used at the Arizona Cancer Center or borrowed for home use. If you need help finding brochures or tapes, ask a volunteer at the front desk. The Department of Pastoral Care at University Medical Center provides spiritual ministry to patients and families in the hospital or in the outpatient clinics.
Services are available for all religious faiths.
