YASU (Young Adult Survivors United) Grant Partnership with Calm Pittsburgh

YASU Survivors and Caregivers are eligible to receive no-cost therapy at Calm Pittsburgh!

YASU's Mission

YASU (Young Adult Survivors United) is an organization that empowers young adult cancer survivors and their caregivers/co-survivors by providing comprehensive emotional, social, and financial support. YASU is dedicated to ensuring that young adult cancer survivors and their loved ones have the resources to cope and thrive.

Access to mental health services is one of the most common unmet needs for the members served by YASU. These challenges create additional stress and burden during an already vulnerable time in their lives. The YASU Grant Partnership with Calm Pittsburgh offers therapeutic services to survivors and caregivers of cancer. We aim to provide a safe and supportive environment to enhance young adult cancer patients' quality of life and address their unique challenges.
