Many of us are used to being the caregiver rather than receiving care ourselves. We’re strong and we’re keeping on, but after a breast cancer diagnosis we’re often surprised to learn that we need support, too. During our February teleconference, Alisha Ellis, LMSW, MA, will help you explore how to:

• Connect to your faith, family, friends, care providers and other survivors
• Nurture your soul and get the support and care you need as an African-American woman affected by breast cancer
• Ask for help, keep a positive outlook and avoid common barriers in accessing support
• To enhance your learning and gain additional support during your breast cancer journey, we encourage you to order a free copy of our culturally sensitive bookletGetting Connected: African-Americans Living Beyond Breast Cancer.
