"Depression is weakness"
Depression during cancer is neither a lack of faith nor a lack of willpower. It is a documented reaction, and it can be treated.
Programs
STPO programs are organized around two pillars: education and support. Films, capsules, support groups, retreats, and workshops offer a range of tools to live through illness differently.

Myths & realities
Depression during cancer is neither a lack of faith nor a lack of willpower. It is a documented reaction, and it can be treated.
It can help from the moment of diagnosis, not only in palliative care or when symptoms become severe.
Illness also affects those who support the patient. Dedicated support helps them endure, understand, and remain present.
