THE NEED FOR mental health therapy
The need for mental health therapy in the wake of cancer has never been greater. Nearly 148,000 Texans are expected to be diagnosed with cancer in 2024, up 6.5% from 139,000 new cases diagnosed in 2023. In the first few months of 2024 alone, Flatwater saw an unprecedented increase of new program participants, up 44% from 2023.
A Cancer diagnosis slams down, instantly creating ripples in a life.
The ripples immediately spread to others.
First to a spouse or partner. Then the kids. Parents. Siblings. The neighbors. Co-workers…
The ripples continue. Financially. Physically. Emotionally. Spiritually.
The ripples disrupt every aspect of a life. Vacations. Careers. Weddings. Even something as simple as dinner plans.
But the ripples of a diagnosis are no match for the resources, services and network of professionals that Flatwater provides.
The ripples of cancer pale in comparison to the Mission we live every single day.
