Mental health counsellors will provide the consultations from the Northern Regional Centre of the Portuguese League Against Cancer, with whom the municipality has signed a collaboration agreement to make this service available to the community. 

The consultations will be held at the Be-Ok Space, which is in operation at Famalicão Bus Station, and appointments must be requested from the municipal health services, by calling 252320900 or emailing saude@famalicao.pt.

It should be remembered that cancer is one of the most common diseases in Portugal and is associated with major physical, psychological and social implications. It usually leads to a reduced quality of life and is one of the main health problems of the 21st century. Psycho-Oncology recognises the need for psychological care, in addition to the essential medical care, at the beginning and progression of the disease, for the patient and their immediate family.
