Peer Support

 

Survivor facilitated support is open to all women at all stages of breast cancer: before treatment, during treatment and/or several years beyond diagnosis.

​

The peer support facilitators are breast cancer survivors, who volunteer their time to allow women who have been affected by the breast cancer journey to talk about their personal situations and concerns.

​

• Members of BCAK do not give medical advice

• Provide support and understanding in a safe and non judgement manner

• Share resources , associated within  BCAK and the south eastern region of Ontario

 

The Breast Cancer peer support meeting is held the last Monday of every month in person or by Zoom from 5:30pm to 7pm.

 

These meetings will be led by trained survivors and EVERYONE is welcome. No registration is required. Meetings are held both in person and virtually to accommodate health risks factors, travel and scheduling barriers. These meetings provide the opportunity for you to listen to or discuss anything about breast cancer in a supportive environment with others who are on or have had their own breast cancer journey.

​

One to One Peer Support

 

If you would like to talk on a one to one basis, BCAK has peer support survivors who will be their to listen to you. The peer support coordinator will match you with a peer support survivor who has had a similar breast cancer experience.
