Community Educational Program
Our greatest ally in our fight against breast cancer is information. Unfortunately, countless women do not have access to the information they need to make life-saving decisions. The Breast Cancer Family Foundation is changing this trend with our educational programs. The more women know about breast health, the better chance they have of reducing their lifelong risk of breast cancer.
Besides covering similar topics presented in our School Program, the Community Program also includes:
* Breast cancer risk factors including risks we that we can control and those that we can not
* Breast self-exam shower card, mammogram and other breast health leaflets
* Early detection procedures for breast cancer
* The various methods of information-gathering techniques and information resources
* Synthetic breast teaching models to learn how to perform self exams correctly
Objectives:
The desired primary result of this program is to arm women with information to reduce their chances of ever developing breast cancer or to minimize the risk of the disease returning. This program is being offered free of charge to local businesses, civic associations, religious organizations, and other community groups.
Each year we reach over 1,500 adult women through presentations and wellness sessions. The Breast Cancer Family Foundation always welcomes opportunities to reach students and adults in Northeast Wisconsin.
