1-on-1 Support Programs
1-on-1 discussions with a peer or chaplain can provide emotional support, shared experiences, improved understanding of conditions and treatments, increased adherence to care plans, and a greater sense of empowerment and validation. These connections foster a sense of community, reduce feelings of isolation, and can lead to more informed decision-making and support for a patient’s emotional and healthcare journey.
