Mental Health Support

Mental Health Support Program

The Ray of Hope Cancer Foundation’s Mental Health Support Grant exists to raise awareness of the critical role mental health plays when cancer impacts a family, while also breaking the stigma around asking for and receiving support. We believe no one should face the emotional toll of cancer alone.

This grant is available to cancer patients, their family members, and caregivers who have been affected by a diagnosis, disease progression, or loss. Designed to remove financial and access barriers to care, eligible individuals may receive up to eight counseling sessions at no cost, depending on the therapist they choose.

Ray of Hope partners with a trusted network of licensed, pre-screened mental health providers who specialize in supporting individuals and families touched by cancer. We recognize that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, and our team is here to support you every step of the way. To protect your privacy and comply with HIPAA regulations, Ray of Hope does not collect or retain any personal contact information from applicants.
