A multi-faceted approach is necessary to accomplish this goal.

While researchers work to find effective ways to treat and defeat mesothelioma, MWA will work to provide desperately needed resources to those whose lives have been turned upside down by the tragedy associated with a diagnosis.

We are committed to connecting victims and caregivers with the following;  

Emotional support:
Coordinate regular support group meetings where patients, caregivers, and field professionals can share information, experiences, feelings, and coping strategies. Connect individuals with licensed counselors, psychologists, and social workers specializing in oncology or grief counseling.

 Practical support:
Provide easy-to-understand resources about cancer and mesothelioma treatment options, side effects, and coping strategies. To alleviate stressors, assist with navigating healthcare systems, transportation, grocery shopping, etc.

Financial support:
Help victims secure financial assistance, grants, and programs to help cover treatment costs, travel, living expenses, and related needs.
