Our community based organization provides grassroots support services to breast cancer victims and their families through counseling, educational forums and advocacy. We are the only non-profit women’s organization in Western Queens staffed by breast cancer survivors. We have focused our activism on the issues surrounding breast care and we are committed to eradicating the fear and ignorance of this disease. Our varied support services, counseling and educational programs are an important component of a woman’s “After Care”. Until a cure can be found for breast cancer, early diagnosis is one of the best weapons that we have to combat this horrific disease. Our objective is to provide support services to all victims of breast and ovari-an cancer and their families. This is accomplished through linkages with community healing providers, lec-tures and educational forums in the community. Our purpose as advocates is to dramatically improve med-ical services to all women through early detection, treatment and providing information about living with the effects of breast cancer regardless of their economic strata. SHAREing and CAREing is focused on all women’s health issues, providing symposiums to educate and to encourage preventive healthcare actions. The population that we serve begins at high school through senior years. SHAREing and CAREing’s activities include: individual advocacy, referrals, essential services, support groups, educational forums, stress reduction workshops and pharmaceutical assistance.
