Cancer caregiving can be intense and episodic, resulting in high levels of psychosocial distress. As a critical part of the health care team, caregivers deserve support that targets their emotional and mental health needs.   

The primary focus of the Caregivers Clinic is to provide counseling from psychologists, psychiatrists, and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners to help caregivers navigate and cope with the complexities of providing care while also managing their own emotions. To this end, we have developed a toolkit to manualize the process of establishing a Caregivers Clinic.

The Caregivers Clinic Toolkit is a comprehensive set of tools and resources that oncology leaders, clinicians, and staff members can use to implement psychosocial services for family caregivers. It also addresses key areas of clinic development, including referral sources and triage processes, billing codes, and staffing.
