RESUMO
People directly affected by cancer report significant psychological distress. Peer support programs are based on the premise that shared experience is a valuable resource that assists individuals to adjust to, and cope effectively with, stressful events. This article considers two types of peer support service available to cancer patients--telephone peer support (the 'Cancer Connect' program) and cancer support groups.
