How Our Matching Process Works

Step 01

Get Started

Complete the match request form to begin the process and a member of our Programs Team will reach out to gain an understanding of your unique situation, challenges, and needs.

Step 02

Get Matched

Our team made up of social work and healthcare professionals will coordinate a customized match with a trained peer mentor – or multiple mentors – based on what information you identify as most important. Connections are facilitated within 24 – 48 hours of initial contact.

Step 03

Get Support

Our Peer Mentors give you the freedom to show up exactly how you are in each moment, moving at the pace that works for you. Visits typically take place over the phone or video chat.

After your initial meeting, you’ll continue to receive ongoing, end-to-end professional oversight, handled by our Programs Team.

Wherever you are in your cancer journey, from pre-diagnosis, through treatment, and into post-treatment survivorship, it’s never too late to connect with Cancer Hope Network.

Navigating a cancer experience is hard. Connecting with someone who understands is easy.

Our Peer Mentors are trained volunteers who have personally experienced cancer and offer emotional support, guidance, and understanding to individuals currently going through cancer. Peer Mentors provide a compassionate, relatable connection for those seeking support from someone who has walked a similar path.

Connecting with a Caregiver Mentor is empowering—and an important reminder that you are not alone.

Our Caregiver Mentors are individuals who have previously cared for a loved one with cancer and are trained to provide emotional support and share their experiences with people who are currently caring for someone impacted by cancer.
