Spiritual & Emotional Support

Cancer care is easier when you have someone to confide in. Join a support group or request a one-on-one session with a chaplain at CentraCare. Whether you’re a patient or caregiver, you’ll find encouragement and strength for your journey.

Individual Emotional Support

Need to talk with someone? Make an appointment if you’re:

  • Coping with a cancer diagnosis
  • Feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed
  • Hoping for a safe place to express your feelings
  • Preparing for the end of life
  • Looking for community resources or referrals to professional mental health support

If you need help right away, call or text the 988 lifeline — a free, 24/7 resource for people in distress.

Your Story

Record your memories in Your Story, the creative writing program at Coborn Healing Center in St. Cloud. Students from College of St. Benedict and St. John’s University partner with you to turn your meaningful life milestones into essays, short stories or poems. By writing about your experiences, you’ll process them and gain a new perspective. You’ll also preserve your memories for loved ones.
