Community Education and Outreach Program
BCRC hosts several webinars a year that aim to educate physicians, nurses, community health workers, behavioral health professionals, social workers, and partners about best practices regarding the needs of YBCS and MBC patients to improve their practice.
BCRC created a multi-lesson course for Community Health Workers (CHW) that focuses on the unique needs of young survivors. Psychosocial impacts of breast cancer topics include: The impact a diagnosis has on emotional health, the effects on family and friends, and common challenges after treatment ends.
