Overview

1 out of three breast cancer survivors and their loved ones experience significant psychosocial distress. There is a lack of understanding of the unique psychosocial care needs for cancer survivors and caregivers and providers often feel inadequate to address these needs. With the goal to build community capacity and meet the psychosocial care needs of breast cancer patients and families, POTA provides training through bite-size videos to introduce the field of psychosocial oncology to community primary care and mental health providers to improve access to palliative and supportive care.
