The human side of cancer needs more support!

There is a growing gap in the psychosocial and practical supports for people affected by cancer. While medical care and research continue to advance, many individuals are left to navigate the emotional, social, and financial realities of cancer on their own.

What does this mean for people living with cancer?

Cancer doesn’t stay in the hospital.

It affects emotions, identity, relationships, finances, and everyday life. That’s exactly why Wellspring Alberta exists.

Wellspring Alberta supports the human side of cancer by providing the emotional, social, and practical support — working alongside the healthcare system to ensure people are cared for as whole human beings, not just patients.

Our programs complement medical treatment and research by addressing needs that extend beyond medical care, helping people feel less alone as they navigate life with and beyond cancer.

"There’s a point where you realize that other people don’t understand this transformation you go to with cancer, but at Wellspring you meet people who do understand. You don’t have to be strong. You don’t have to be the person you were. Wellspring was, and continues to be, an essential part of my healing journey."

Behind every program is a real person with a real story.

Wellspring members remind us that cancer is lived day by day, and that human support can make all the difference. 

Cancer doesn’t end when the appointments are over. Wellspring Alberta is here for every moment after.

“Even though I was going through a terrible time and I felt very vulnerable, I immediately felt safe at Wellspring. I had no breasts, no eyebrows, no hair. It was such a difficult time in my life, and yet I walked into a room full of others, and I immediately felt safe. ”
