During 2010, JD Breast Cancer Foundation conducted a survey of social workers, Patient Navigators, and nurses to determine a need for a centrally located support group with a focus on avariety of topics and activities that support camaraderie, friendship and mutual support, provided free-of-charge, and targeting younger women. The response yielded a need for this type of service, thus, JD Breast Cancer Foundation is seeking to move towards
implementation of a Young Survivors’ Therapeutic Seminar series (YSTS).
The primary focus of YSTS will be the information and/or activity shared by the participants, and will not be a strict therapeutic environment, although counseling skills may be necessary for clients and through the presentation of the topics. The facilitator is not expected to present
all topics and is encouraged to engage specialists and others from the community to make presentations to the group.
Topics can include medical advancements and therapies, but it is hoped that food, nutrition, intimacy, relationships, financial stability, raising children and families, etc, will also be emphasized.
Once a facilitator has been selected, we will send out a notification regarding the schedule.
