Making Sense of Clinical Trials – Together

Clinical trials can feel confusing and overwhelming. It’s not always easy to understand how they work, what to expect, or whether they’re the right fit for you. When you’re already dealing with a lot, learning about clinical trials can feel like one more heavy thing to figure out.

Our program connects you with a peer mentor so you can ask questions about clinical trials, share your concerns, and hear the personal experience of someone who’s been there.

Peer mentors speak both English and Spanish and are trained to offer emotional and practical support to meet your needs.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Here’s How It Works

The Peer Program is available to adults (18+) who are cancer patients, survivors, previvors (someone at risk of a cancer diagnosis), or caregivers for a loved one with cancer.

Reach Out. Fill out a short online request form or give us a call. A member of our team will reach out to learn more about your unique situation and how we can best support you.
Get Matched. Our team will connect you with a peer mentor who’s the best fit based on what matters most to you. We do our best to make introductions within 48 hours of your first contact.
Get Support. Connections happen over the phone and can last up to three months. You and your peer mentor decide together what timing works best.

Note: Our peer mentors are not doctors or mental health professionals, so they can’t give medical advice or enroll you in a clinical trial. For medical or mental health care, please reach out to a qualified professional.

When you don’t know what to ask you might need someone to pull it out of you. Talking to my peer mentor was unbelievably helpful. I so strongly believe in the Cancer Support Community and how it helps people. I wish more people knew.
