Our friends at UC Davis Health would like your help with their ongoing efforts to improve mental health care for head and neck cancer patients. They invite you to participate in an anonymous research survey designed to understand better your experience and preference for receiving mental health care. Your feedback is invaluable and will empower physicians to provide more informed support and recommend more effective treatment options. The anonymous survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. We invite anyone with a history of head and neck cancer to fill it out. To participate, please click the link below:

No one should face cancer alone! That's why we've partnered with Imerman Angels to provide peer-to-peer support for the head and neck cancer community. Whether you are a patient, survivor, or caregiver, you can connect with someone to give or receive help. In particular, we desperately need mentors who can speak Spanish and mentors who were caregivers. Find out more about the program on our website. From there, you can request a mentor or sign up to become a mentor.
