THERAPY IN THE
WAKE OF CANCER
Flatwater provides access to mental health therapy in the wake of cancer. We connect individuals with therapists to help clear their mind, heal their body, and find the strength to take on a diagnosis.
For families in financial need, we cover the cost of therapy so there can be one less worry on their journey to finding flatwater.
A CANCER DIAGNOSIS
CAN CAUSE WAVES
IN EVERY DIRECTION
We work to bring families coping with cancer back to calm waters, so they can focus on navigating cancer, not the mental challenges of diagnosis. We are dedicated to providing those diagnosed with cancer, their families and loved ones access to mental health therapy and family support.
THE NEED FOR mental health therapy
The need for mental health therapy in the wake of cancer has never been greater. Nearly 161,330 Texans are expected to be diagnosed with cancer in 2026, reflecting the ongoing increase in cancer across the state. As more individuals and families are impacted by a diagnosis, the need for accessible mental health support grows - for patients, survivors, caregivers, and loved ones navigating the emotional toll of cancer
