The Caring for the Caregiver Clinic is part of the Psychosocial Oncology Clinic at Princess Margaret. It was created to provide clinical care, research and education to meet the needs of caregivers.
Caregivers of Princess Margaret Cancer Centre patients can get a referral from their healthcare providers.
A psychologist will ask you some questions to understand your main concerns and support needs.
At the end of the appointment, you and the psychologist will discuss a plan to address your needs. Your plan can include suggestions or referrals to other resources within the hospital or the community.
Contact the Clinic
Although caregivers of patients who are treated outside of the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre cannot be referred to the clinic, anyone can visit Caring for the Caregiver to access resources.
