Breast Cancer Network of Strength View Charity Profile
Breast Cancer Network of Strength, formerly known as Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization®, provides immediate emotional relief to anyone affected by breast cancer.
The mission of Breast Cancer Network of Strength is to ensure, through information, empowerment and peer support, that no one faces breast cancer alone.
YourShoes™ is Breast Cancer Network of Strength’s peer support program that includes a 24/7 breast cancer support center staffed by trained breast cancer survivors providing peer support through a toll-free hotline, e-mail and support groups.
The organization raises money to fund YourShoes, outreach programs, breast health awareness workshops, wigs and prostheses banks for women with limited resources, and advocacy on breast cancer related policies.
Breast Cancer Network of Strength™, formerly known as Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization®, is a Chicago-based national nonprofit organization with the mission to ensure, through information, empowerment and peer support, that no one faces breast cancer alone. The organization does not raise money for research. Instead, it provides immediate emotional relief for anyone touched by breast cancer.
Breast Cancer Network of Strength’s peer support model is well differentiated in the breast cancer patient advocacy environment. The organization’s premier peer support service dates back 30 years to when it was founded: a hotline staffed entirely by breast cancer survivors.
YourShoes™ is the umbrella name for the organization’s peer support services and encompasses the 24/7 breast cancer support center with real-time interpreters available in more than 150 languages for telephone conversations; match programs; support via e-mail; the ShareRing Network, a monthly one-hour teleconference; and survivor-facilitated support groups.
Peer counselors and facilitators are trained and certified. They don’t give medical advice – they are not medical professionals – but they can help people make educated decisions by providing information about procedures and treatment options
