Breast Cancer Network of Strength

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. YourShoes? is the name for the organization’s peer support services and encompasses the 24/7 breast cancer support center that provides information and immediate emotional relief via phone or e-mail. 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. The organization has affiliates throughout the nation that provide services such as support groups; early detection and teen workshops; wigs and prostheses for women with limited resources; and advocacy on breast cancer policies. For more information about Breast Cancer Network of Strength, visit www.networkofstrength.org. YourShoes peer counselors can be contacted at 1-800-221-2141, with interpreters available in more than 150 languages. For those of us who came to know us more recently – when we were briefly known as Breast Cancer Network of Strength – we welcome you to Y-ME a name used for more than 30 years!”
