Dr. Amy, Psy.D.Friends - I'm looking for mental health and support resources for people with cancer.

Your Autistic Life FR/EN/ESThe Leukemia and Lymphoma society has proved useful to me:
They provide resources to people with leukemia, lymphomas, or associated cancers.
Lilli SystemWe know about this - https://www.mskcc.org/locations/directory/msk-counseling - because our friend used them before he passed away.
Jupiter Sigh@dramypsyd The Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia has a focus on mental health and support for cancer patients. My mum was an art therapist there for a bit. Maybe someone there would be good to contact for resources and discussion. https://www.onjcancercentre.org/
Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe@dramypsyd These folks organize survivor support-walks every spring on the Virginia Corridor, a rail-trail through the heart of Modesto.
There's nothing on this website, but they put those little 2x3 signs up on the corridor telling people when and where to meet a couple times a week until the summer heat arrives.

You likely already know about Gilda's. What you may not know is that, because every employee is a state licensed therapist or social worker, their offerings are highly regionalized. So, check out a few for a good sample.
Then there's the queer cancer network. Searchable under that name.
There's also the Morning Star Singers, a loose knit grass-roots organization who offers palliative singing, not just for the dying, but for "all who struggle with living or dying."
