This trial is testing a new program called Open Door for Cancer that helps older adults with cancer who are dealing with depression. The program delivers mental health support through phone or video calls over a six-week period. Researchers want to see if this new approach is easier and more helpful than the standard way cancer centers currently connect patients with mental health services.
Many older adults with cancer struggle with depression, but they often don't receive mental health care. This study exists to find out if a more direct, simplified approach to connecting these patients with mental health support can work better and be easier for both patients and their healthcare providers.

If you join this study, you will be randomly assigned to either the new mental health support program or usual care. If you receive the new program, you'll have three 30-minute sessions over six weeks via phone or video, plus one follow-up call — all designed to help you connect with mental health services. Sessions will be recorded for quality purposes. The entire study follows your cancer treatment schedule.
