Partners In Survival
Partners In Survival is an educational workshop designed, developed, and facilitated by Men Against Breast Cancer in conjunction with physicians, social workers who specialize in breast cancer education, other health care professional, as well as breast cancer patients and family members.
The objective of Partners In Survival is to provide information and education in a manner that breast cancer patients and their partners find easy to use and apply to their lives so that they can more effectively manage the breast cancer crisis.
Partners In Survival workshops are open to the public and are co-sponsored- and marketed- by local healthcare institutions in the cities in which they take place.
Partners In Survival workshops focus on how breast cancer impacts individuals as well as the family unit. The workshops include practical tips to help manage the many elements of the breast cancer crisis, including, doctor's visits, household responsibilities, children, intimacy, communications, and more. Specific emphasis is placed on men understanding the physical and emotional needs of their female partners.
A broad variety of follow up information and additional resources are provided to participants at the end of each workshop.
