ONE-ON-ONE
WITH A PEER MENTOR
Do you have a new diagnosis? Have you been diagnosed with the breast cancer gene? Are you in active treatment and just want some support? Would you like to be connected with others that have experienced breast cancer?
Our mentorship program is a fellowship of volunteers diagnosed with breast cancer who are matched with those who request support.
Peer mentors who are trained by a licensed clinical social worker. Each is a survivor of breast cancer, herself. They can listen to you and talk through worries or concerns that you may have. These advocates are here to encourage you along this journey.
More About Our Peer Mentorship Program
Step 1: Complete the Form Below
Mentees must complete a mentor request form below to request being assigned to a mentor. Pink Lemonade Project staff and our healthcare partners help match each mentee to appropriate mentors.
Information entered below may be shared with a licensed clinical social worker or nurse navigator to help connect you to the best peer mentor. All volunteers agree to keep conversations strictly confidential. In emergency situations, when disclosure is necessary for the life or safety of our clients or another individual, Pink Lemonade Project staff will notify medical professionals and/or authorities. We have mentors who speak English, Spanish, and Ukrainian.
Pink Lemonade Project is interested in expanding the number of mentors that we have. To become a mentor, you must be a breast cancer survivor and have attended one of our retreats or events in the past. In particular we are interested in new mentors who speak Russian or Spanish, or other languages. New mentors are also required to participate in a training by our team of clinical social workers.
Step 2: Complete the ROI Form
A completed Release of Information (ROI) Form is now required for enrollment in the mentorship program. This form should be completed by the patient or their authorized representative (e.g., Guardian, Executor of Estate, Health Care Power of Attorney).
