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?
Pink Peers is our one-on-one mentorship program. It is a fellowship of volunteer breast cancer survivor mentors who are matched with mentees, those with breast cancer who request support.
The Pink Peers are 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.
