Counseling

No one prepares you for the emotional weight cancer brings — the confusion, the fear, the feeling of being overwhelmed. That’s why we’re here. 
At Cancer Aid Network, we offer free counseling for anyone in Bangladesh whose life has been touched by cancer — whether you’re a patient, a caregiver, or a family member trying to hold it all together.
Our team of warm, compassionate oncology social workers is trained not just to listen, but to truly understand. We’re here to talk about the hard stuff — the anxiety, the decisions, the heartbreak — and help you find your strength again.

Counseling is available in
Bangla and English, and we offer flexible options so that support fits into your life:

  • Come talk to us in person

  • Call us from wherever you are

  • Or meet with us online, face-to-face through video

We’ll also help connect you to practical resources in your area — whether it’s financial support, treatment information, or community services.
