Lipson Cancer Institute adapted the University of Washington’s Collaborative Care model to embed counseling services into oncology and palliative care across 6 clinic locations. This model allows patients with cancer to receive counseling for depression, anxiety, and other psycho-social concerns while in active treatment and survivorship, eliminating many barriers to care. Counseling is provided in-person or virtually, ensuring that critical support and mental health care are accessible to all, including patients in rural areas and those who are homebound.

“When our social work team meets with patients…and identifies a mood concern, they are able to put someone on my schedule within the next 2 days for an intake, compared to [services] in the community where it might take months to connect with a mental health provider.”
