Center for Oncology Psychology Excellence
Supporting Cancer Patients and their Families
One in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, which can cause serious psychological distress in patients, their caregivers and families. The Center for Oncology Psychology Excellence (COPE) is a first-of-its-kind training program and partnership with community cancer centers that aims to positively impact the mental health of cancer patients.
We work as a hub for research and program evaluation on the psychological, social and emotional impacts of cancer. Our approach is based around providing graduate-level coursework and field placements in cancer centers throughout the state in order to build community partnerships that increase access to psychological and social services for cancer patients.
